The House That Dirt Built

The House That Dirt Built is the second studio album by English rock band The Heavy. It was released on 13 October 2009. The title is a reference to the nursery rhyme This Is the House That Jack Built. Vocalist Kelvin Swaby explained in an interview with Songfacts that the song "Sixteen" was inspired by a time when he was working a lot as a DJ and he would see 16-year-old kids sneaking into clubs.[5]

gollark: Not sure who brought it up.
gollark: Because you can discuss things without liking them?
gollark: There's no technical reason they should only last 8ish years.
gollark: Primarily batteries, and kind of screens if you're prone to dropping them a lot like me. Also charging ports.
gollark: Some parts tend to degrade over time, and I'd definitely want those to be swappable.
