Futureheaven are a 5 piece shoegaze/dream pop band from Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2018 and drawing from a variety of influences Futureheaven look to write music that mixes melody with atmosphere. Futureheavens debut EP ‘Colourwaves' (Produced, mixed and mastered by Elliott Gallart @ Chameleon Studios) is out now on all streaming platforms and can be downloaded for free from bandcamp. With an additional stand-alone single soon to be released plus a second EP in the final stages of production it’s set to be an exciting year of new music.
How did the band form and what does the band name mean?
- The band started around 2018 with Charlie and Kit deciding to demo out some ideas for a new musical project, Harry then joined shortly after and finally Bridie and Giles completed the line up. We just thought the band name sounded cool and fit the vibe of the music we were trying to make
Previous musical projects? How'd you first get into music?
- Most of us played in punk/hardcore/metalcore bands before Futureheaven, however we all have quite a diverse number of personal influences that we try to bring to the band.
First concert that you ever went to?
- Bridie = Robbie Williams
- Charlie = The Rolling Stones
- Giles = Lamb of God
- Kit = Millencolin
- Harry = Lamb of God
What's your writing process like?
- Charlie & Kit usually come up with a demo on GarageBand, the song is then brought to the rehearsal space where it’s fleshed out before we look to try and record it.
What other artists or songs inspire your music?
- We have all selected two songs for the playlist of bands that influence us individually for Futureheaven, however as a unit our main influences would most likely be Slowdive, Smashing Pumpkins and Nothing.
What's the live experience like and your philosophy on playing live? Do you think the music live should be identical to the recorded version or should it be its own thing?
- We love to play live and try to create a washed out atmospheric vibe, we don’t think that the live experience should be the same as the record version, we want the live experience to be its own unique thing
Has the band toured?
- We have never toured, however we would love to start doing some shows around Australia
What's up next for the band?
- We have a stand-alone single that should be out soonish then another EP that is getting mixed and mastered that we would like to release this year at some point
