Superheaven has spent the last five years honing their grunge buzzing and desperate sound across four EP's, showcasing and perfecting a talent for writing both jarringly heavy and delicately emotional songs. Combined with relentless touring across the U.S. and Europe since the band first formed in 2007, the stars aligned for Superheaven’s Run For Cover Records full length, Jar, an outstanding and highly-anticipated debut LP.

Engineer and producer Will Yip’s massive production knocks you on your ass from the very first drum hit and snarling guitar riff on album opener "Sponge." The stadium-sound drums fill the record, plus pulsing bass and walls of buzzsaw guitars are all mixed with the size and clarity of major label grunge breakthrough records like Nirvana's Nevermind and Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream.

Since the 2013 release of Jar, Superheaven has stayed true to the ways of their past, spending the majority of the past year and a half on the road. The band is about to embark on their first European headlining tour with Nai Harvest as support but before that, they’ll reunite with Basement on the UK emo-grunge band’s U.S. reunion tour. And later this year, Superheaven will head back in the studio with longtime friend and producer Will Yip to begin work on their SideOneDummy debut, due sometime spring 2015.
