Pennsylvania alternative heroes Superheaven have shared details of their new self-titled album, the band’s first full-length release in 10 years, which is set to arrive worldwide April 18th via their new label home Blue Grape Music.  The band have also shared the new single “Cruel Times,” which is available today on all streaming platforms and is joined by an official music video directed by Britain Weyant – watch it HERE.

Recorded and engineered by the band’s own Jake Clarke and Zack Robbins, and co-produced by Will Yip [Turnstile, Mannequin Pussy], Superheaven follows the band’s influential 2015 album Ours Is Chrome.  On Superheaven, the band returns with a towering collection that sees them pushing at their boundaries with a sense of pensive gloom, and features the previously released singles “Long Gone” and “Numb To What Is Real.”

Superheaven is available for pre-order / pre-save today, with several exclusive and limited vinyl colorways available, including a tour edition of 180 gram black vinyl with a rainbow foil jacket.

Superheaven will head out on a 2025 North American headline tour this spring in support of their long-awaited new self-titled album. The upcoming dates will feature special guests Glare and SPY, and will kick off on April 27th at Delmar Hall in St. Louis, MO. The trek includes stops in Los Angeles, Berkley, Denver, Austin, Chicago, Toronto, Philadelphia and concludes with a performance at New York’s Brooklyn Steel on May 20th [tour itinerary below]. Pre-sale tickets for the tour are available now, with general on-sale for tickets beginning tomorrow, February 21st at 10:00AM local time. Furthermore, Superheaven also have several U.S. and international festival appearances slated for 2025 including: LDB Fest in Louisville, KY (April 26th), Outbreak Fest in London, United Kingdom (June 13th), Outbreak Fest in Manchester, United Kingdom (June 14-15th), Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY (September 18-21st) and more.  For tickets and more information on Superheaven’s upcoming tour dates, visit www.superheaven.net.

ABOUT SUPERHEAVEN:

Superheaven not only relies, but also thrives on the interplay of its four members—Jake Clarke [lead vocals, guitar], Taylor Madison [lead vocals, guitar], Joe Kane [bass], and Zack Robbins [drums]. The music unfolds like an unspoken conversation between the respective players (and old friends), revolving around post-hardcore grit, full-bodied and fuzzed-out distortion, and hazy alternative melodies. Muscular riffs make indentations in a perpetually droning soundscape, fissuring into fits of catchy catharsis and hypnotic jamming without rival. Following a series of independent releases, the Pennsylvania group unveiled Jar during 2013. At the time, it slowly but surely built a foundation for the band. The musicians leveled up with 2015’s Ours Is Chrome—hailed by Brooklyn Vegan as one of the “50 Best Punk & Emo Albums: 2015-2019.” The latter boasted the likes of “Poor Aileen,” which gathered 25 million Spotify streams. Superheaven played intermittently throughout the ensuing years, whether at a benefit alongside Turnstile and Tigers Jaw, at Outbreak Fest 2022 in Manchester, UK, or at Sick New World 2023 in Las Vegas, NV. Ten years after the initial release of Jar, the record unassumingly took on a life of its own fueled by fan rediscovery. “Youngest Daughter” surged on TikTok and eventually eclipsed over 128 million Spotify streams followed by “In On It” with 22 million Spotify streams and “Life In A Jar” with 8 million Spotify streams. After a pair of quietly influential albums, hundreds of millions of streams, and countless shows, a longstanding sonic and spiritual union underscores the band’s third full-length offering and very first release for Blue Grape, the self-titled Superheaven.
