Story of Superheaven

Superheaven: A Grunge-Infused Journey from Daylight

Superheaven, originally known as Daylight, emerged from the vibrant music scene of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in 2008. Their sound, a potent blend of 90s grunge and shoegaze, quickly garnered attention for its raw energy and emotive depth.

From Early Days to Charting Success:

Daylight's early days saw the release of their debut EP, "Sinking," in 2009, a polished version of their demo. Subsequent EPs, "Dispirit" (2010) and "The Difference in Good and Bad Dreams" (2012), solidified their growing reputation. Their 2013 debut album, "Jar," made its mark on the US Billboard 200 chart, landing at number 184. This achievement, along with their inclusion in Alternative Press's coveted "39 up-and-coming bands" list, positioned Daylight as a force to be reckoned with.

A New Name, A New Chapter:

A legal dispute with a Spanish band sharing the same name led to a name change in early 2014, ushering in the era of Superheaven. This pivotal moment marked a fresh start for the band, and soon after, they signed with SideOneDummy Records. Their second album, "Ours Is Chrome," released in May 2015, showcased their evolved sound and cemented their status as a dynamic force in the alternative rock landscape.

A Pause and a Legacy:

Following their "Ours Is Chrome" tour, Superheaven took a step back from full-time activity. However, their influence continues to resonate. Their unique blend of grunge and shoegaze, combined with their captivating live performances, left an undeniable mark on the music scene, inspiring a new generation of alternative rock artists.
