In the last issue, we discussed The Neptunes, the prodigious musical duo that dominated the hip-hop and rap scene from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Today, we will discuss Superheaven.
Formed in Pennsylvania in 2008, Taylor Madison, Jake Clarke, Joe Kane, and John Bowes united to express their music—reminiscent of the 1990s grunge scene—under 3333q2zSuperheaven. Inspired by hard rock bands such as Deftones, Alice In Chains, and Smashing Pumpkins, Superheaven’s music revives the gritty electric guitar sound of the nineties.
With the release of their debut album, Jar, in 2013, Superheaven solidified itself as a modern grunge band. Released by Run for Cover Records, the band received praise for its nostalgic guitar riffs.
Below are some of my favorite songs by them.
- “In On It”
- “Leach”
- “Youngest Daughter”
- “”Room”
