Following their storming performance at Download Festival and ahead of their highly anticipated Glastonbury appearance the UK’s most electrifying live band, Oh My God! It’s The Church, fronted by the irreverent and charismatic Reverend Michael Alabama Jackson, are unleashing their new single “Higher The Hair” on June 21 – an instant disco-funk classic that is set to ignite dance floors across the nation.
Known for their high-energy performances and unique blend of gospel, rock‘n’roll, funk, and disco, Oh My God! It’s The Church have built a reputation as one of the most unforgettable acts on the live music circuit. They recently signed to One Fiinix, the same booking agency as Ed Sheeran, Ladyhawke, Gwar & Run DMC and their records have graced the airwaves of national and international radio including BBC 6 Music, where Craig Charles says of the band “OMG are one of my absolute favourites, they put on a show like no other”.
With “Higher The Hair“, the band has captured the essence of their live shows, delivering a track that is as infectious as it is uplifting.
Reverend Michael Alabama Jackson, the band’s larger-than-life frontman, leads the congregation with his signature blend of humour, charisma, and undeniable stage presence but on this track he’s given way to his disco queens “The Hail Marys” who deliver a storming rendition of an instant disco classic. Speaking about the new single, Reverend Jackson said, “We are living through some pretty chaotic times, but thankfully music can bring some sweet relief. So we wanted to create something that not only makes people move but also lifts their spirits. ‘Higher The Hair’ is all about washing those worries away and preparing for the best night of your life. So join the Hail Marys in their Soul Salon, and get your Friday feelin’ on. It’s our sermon for your dance floor!”
“Higher The Hair” showcases the band’s knack for combining tight, funky grooves with irresistible melodies and a touch of soulful exuberance. The track features driving basslines, vibrant horn sections, and the powerful, gospel-infused vocals that have become a hallmark of the band’s sound.
With a string of successful shows and festival appearances behind them including Secret Garden Party, Wilderness, Download Festival, Isle of Wight festival, and the Camden Roundhouse, Oh My God! It’s The Church continue to gather a devoted following. Their live performances are a spectacle not to be missed, fusing infectious funk grooves with earth-shattering riffs, often leaving audiences in a joyous frenzy and always an unforgettable experience.
