Superheaven

Superheaven not only relies, but also thrives on the interplay of its four members—Jake Clarke [lead vocals, guitar], Taylor Madison [lead vocals, guitar], Joe Kane [bass], and Zack Robbins [drums]. The music unfolds like an unspoken conversation between the respective players (and old friends), revolving around post-hardcore grit, full-bodied and fuzzed-out distortion, and hazy alternative melodies. Muscular riffs make indentations in a perpetually droning soundscape, fissuring into fits of catchy catharsis and hypnotic jamming without rival. Following a series of independent releases, the Pennsylvania group unveiled Jar during 2013. At the time, it slowly but surely built a foundation for the band. The musicians leveled up with 2015’s Ours Is Chrome—hailed by Brooklyn Vegan as one of the “50 Best Punk & Emo Albums: 2015-2019.” The latter boasted the likes of “Poor Aileen,” which gathered 25 million Spotify streams. Superheaven played intermittently throughout the ensuing years, whether at a benefit alongside Turnstile and Tigers Jaw, at Outbreak Fest 2022 in Manchester, UK, or at Sick New World 2023 in Las Vegas, NV. Ten years after the initial release of Jar, the record unassumingly took on a life of its own fueled by fan rediscovery. “Youngest Daughter” surged on TikTok and eventually eclipsed over 128 million Spotify streams followed by “In On It” with 22 million Spotify streams and “Life In A Jar” with 8 million Spotify streams. After a pair of quietly influential albums, hundreds of millions of streams, and countless shows, a longstanding sonic and spiritual union underscores the band’s third full-length offering and very first release for Blue Grape, the self-titled Superheaven.
