Inheaven

Inheaven were an English four-piece alternative band from South London. Formed in 2014, the band released their first single "Regeneration"[4] in 2015 via Julian Casablancas[5]' label Cult Records. The single was supported by BBC Radio 1/BBC6 Music DJs Annie Mac, Phil Taggart, Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins. The band were featured in DIY and XFM's ones to watch for 2016 with NME heralding them "one of the UK’s most exciting new bands".[6] The band also topped DIY's readers poll in 2016 coming in first place for Track of the Year, second for band of the year and fourth best live act of the year.[7]
