South London's INHEAVEN mix grunge, shoegaze, and other influences in an eclectic, decades-spanning take on rock. The group began when bassist/vocalist Chloe Little began making short visuals that vocalist/guitarist James Taylor used as songwriting inspiration. The band came up with its first song, "Regeneration," using this process, and posted it and several other tracks online after recruiting drummer Joe Lazarus and guitarist Jake Lucas. Julian Casablancas' Cult Records released "Regeneration" as INHEAVEN's official debut single in 2015. Several other singles followed, including that year's "Bitter Town" and 2016's "Baby's Alright" and "All There Is." INHEAVEN's more polished self-titled debut album, recorded in Wales with Tom Dalgety, followed in 2017. ~ Heather Phares
