An ancient axiom reminds, “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.”

Living up to this truth, 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.

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.

“The sound depends on the four of us,” affirms Jake. “For Superheaven to come through, we need everyone’s personality in the pot. When we all get in a room, it’s truly special. Individually, we add our own spin to it, but we collectively want the same thing. That’s the motif. I feel intertwined with the other guys. This is a huge part of our lives.”

“We appreciate it more than ever too,” adds Taylor. “The appreciation makes it easier to connect.”

Superheaven’s own connection crystallized back in 2008. 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. In the midst of a sold-out Jar tenth anniversary tour, the boys discussed new music, kicking around demos.

2024 saw them hit their stride as they wrote and recorded Superheaven. This time around, the guys worked out of Zack’s Metal Shop Studio in addition to reteaming with co-producer Will Yip [Panic! At the Disco, Quicksand, Scowl] at Studio 4 Recording. The process harnessed the strength of their chemistry.

“It was fluid,” Jake notes. “All of our minds are in sync, so we knew how we wanted the record to sound. We like quality production without over-producing,” he laughs. “The tones are organic. There’s nothing fake.”

The record ultimately embodies what the band has been since its inception. “This work of art is Superheaven,” Jake declares. “It’s a statement that we’re trying to push forward. It’s the best representation of who we are at the moment.”

In the end, Superheaven are still simply four friends making music as loudly as possible.

“Not only do we get to do this band in 2025, but we really zeroed in on what we are,” Jake leaves off. “We can play our instruments and be proud. I know if we continue to put the music first, everything will fall into place.”

“We just want to write good songs,” Taylor concludes. “It seems like a lost art, but we treasure it. If you listen to this, I hope you think, ‘Damn, they still got it’.”
