Doylestown, Pennsylvania's Superheaven (formerly known as Daylight) craft a crushing, fuzz-drenched brand of shoegaze-inflected grunge that channels the heavy melancholy of Hum, Swervedriver, and early Smashing Pumpkins. Their 2015 album 'Ours Is Chrome' is a masterclass in balancing overwhelming distortion with gorgeous melody, creating a wall of sound that feels simultaneously crushing and transcendent. Superheaven's brand of heavy, emotionally resonant shoegaze has earned them a devoted following among fans who crave guitars that are both beautiful and punishingly loud.
