He's the living embodiment of Sheffield steel -- a semi-legendary, tough-talking, 26-year-old poet-songwriter, and the powerhouse behind Reverend And The Makers, whose album The State Of Things was the greatest UK debut of last year. Formerly in a band with his close pal and sometime flatmate, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner, Jon McClure is unapologetically political, the scourge of bands with nothing to say, his native city's beating heart and conscience. So how do the pair get on? "I wrote a song on Favourite Worst Nightmare [the second Monkeys album] and Alex and I still share a place," says Jon, "but he's got his thing going and I've got mine, and he's moving to London. You get into different things as you grow older, but we're still mates. "Do I wish he was more political? Yes, but it's up to him -- between him and his own mind. But it's not just Alex. I wished everyone in music thought about the issues more, because we're melting ice caps, slaughtering people in Iraq and looking to Iran."
