Superheaven (formerly known as Daylight) was an American alternative rock band from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, formed in 2008. Their music has been described as reminiscent of 1990s grunge, but Taylor Madison has described it simply as rock/rock and roll.

History

As Daylight, the band formed early in 2008 and released their debut extended play Sinking in 2009 via Get This Right Records.[3] They released their second EP Dispirit in 2010 via Six Feet Under Records,[4] and their third, The Difference in Good and Bad Dreams, in 2012 via Run for Cover Records (together with an acoustic EP).[5] Their debut studio album Jar was released in April 2013 on the same label and reached number 184 on the Billboard 200 chart.[6] The band was featured on Alternative Press's list of "39 up-and-coming bands you must check out before 2013 ends".[7] Following a legal dispute with a Spanish band of the same name, Daylight changed their name to Superheaven in early 2014.[8] Later the same year, the band signed to SideOneDummy Records.[9] They released their second album Ours Is Chrome in May 2015. The band announced they would be going on hiatus in the spring of 2016. In December 2017, Superheaven reunited to play a secret set alongside Tigers Jaw and Turnstile for a charity event for Philabundence put on by music producer Will Yip. A few days after, the band announced a one-off show benefitting Planned Parenthood on March 2, 2018 at The Other Side in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. Although the band has played a few select shows since ending in 2016, they do not plan to begin touring or releasing music again.
