It's been a long while since I've posted a Sunday Radio Dick feature, which usually required hours of prep work for me each week. I'm feeling a little energetic rolling into Sunday, so I'll throw down with an old school Radio Dick - our long-time readers know how these roll. For those new to the garden party, it's essentially a weekly roundup of some tracks that either 1) garnered plenty of newsworthy hype - warranted or not, or 2) were missed by me throughout the week. I consider this the arena to sort of lob tracks at [...]
Sleazy Dreams by the band in Heaven New track from the shoegaze duo Band In Heaven. The project is pulling on a little more garage rock than usual, but the guitar distortion and drums here are still pretty friggin' heavy. For something a little more psychedelic, check out the track Band released along with this one, " If You Only Knew ."
We talked about the band in Heaven last October after they released a split tape with Weird Wives; their track "Summer Bummer" was a last vestige to the summer of 2010, and it was a reverb heavy, shoegaze-y cut that recalled hazy afternoons and late night drives to the beach. The Orlando-based outfit has returned...
Tweet You haven't heard from me about the band in Heaven for nigh-on nine months now, and you might not have even heard about them at all, so for those of you who fall int that category here's what you need to know. A duo from Florida, they use their craft to bundle up snappy and harmonious firecrackers that sound as though they're being let loose via burning amps. If that sounds like your bag then check out my intro piece [...]
Orlando, Florida shoegaze/dream pop duo The Band in Heaven returns with two fresh gems, and it's a delight for us to see that the two have moved forward a few years, now being on a heavily mid to late-90s, densely psychedelia-infused trip (complete with sitar) that brings to mind later Oasis antics (only slightly more slowed-down and with less ragged working class euphoria), who of course have always been, as we all know, on a serious backward-leaning nostalgia trip themselves - which leaves us here with a retro late 60s/early 70s-inspired piece from 2011 viewed through a 1997 [...]
The Band In Heaven - If You Only Knew New tape from The Band In Heaven "Seven Minutes In Heaven". Buy the cassette via NorseKorea Tapes HERE. Download the track If You Only Knew via bandcamp.
We are chuffed to buggery about Orlando duo the band in Heaven ( Ates Isildak and Lauren Dwyer). We listen to a metric F tonne of new music on a daily basis so anytime something can grab us it is tre bien. This is dirty, fuzzy rock that is right up our alley. I am not going to beat the "sounds like" drum to death here haha sorry catchphrase fans .. all none of you. I am going to tell you what's really up. The songs they have out their are mostly demos and they are demo-y, but killer ; however, the coup [...]

The Band in Heaven are a noise trio from Orlando that makes minimalistic but intense raw wall of shoegaze sounds that could be almost a borderline with the running lo-fi dream pop with a super bass reverb and sweet distortion to make it even more heavenly as the band name suggests, all this to say that they have quite a unique sound that ranges a whole-lot of influences but all very well measured. Certainly a catch for any Jesus and Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine Summer Bummer, and Suicide Pact are absolute [...]
Descobri o site dos Band In Heaven e fiquei simplesmente apaixonado pelo que ouvi. O arsenal que estes tipos trazem é simplemente brutal, a voz falha um pouco mas com uma produção decente em cima tudo muda. A força desta música trouxe-me à memória bandas como os BRMC e os A Place To Burry Strangers. Goodbye Horses Convido-vos a clicar aqui e ouvir as demos destes moçoilos da Florida.

SPECIAL MAGIC TIMES ALL AROUND / HAPPY HOLIDAZE
Earlier on this week my friend Callum asked me to compile him a "shoegaze" type mixtape that he could play at a gig that he is hosting. Just something that could act as a noise filler before, between and after the bands have played. I was undecided about whether or not to make it an hour and a half or 2 hours so instead settled for the standard 1 hour and 18 minutes to allow the mix to be transferred to CD if needed. When it came to [...]
Hailing from West Palm Beach, Florida, the band in Heaven provides some much-needed darkness to the Sunshine State, working off a sound that's a cross between the drone of The Velvet Underground and the fuzzy distortion of My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Or, in the words of the band's guitarist, Ates Isildak, their music is a bunch of “fuzzy, dreamy, hazy, feedback-driven pop songs.” Currently a duo consisting of Isildak and percussionist Lauren Dwyer, both sharing vocal and organ duties, the band in Heaven is an active part of the live music scene [...]
Being Scottish and living in the U.S. it's guaranteed that people will make fun of my accent, but it's also guaranteed I'm gonna make fun of theirs too. At a point of frustration or when something happens that they kinda wish hadn't, people here will say "Awww man", but to me it sounds more like "Awwww meeyaannn". Why the fuck am I telling you this? Because when the band in Heaven's demos had stopped playing on their Bandcamp page I let out a legit "Meyan", it was just that good (I'm finished writing this post now but going [...]

There’s a low whirr running through the whole of the band in Heaven’s “Summer Bummer.” The band falls easily into the recent shoegaze revival, going so far as to tag their demos on Bandcamp with ‘shoegaze’ twice. And while that might have been unintentional, their methodical drone certainly isn’t. That they’ve shared the stage with [...]
Instrumentally, The Band In Heaven sound like the Crocodiles' first album, all fuzz, grit and beautiful crashes of distortion. It's fitting that the Florida act recently played alongside The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and will soon share a bill with A Place To Bury Strangers, two names whose primary sonic elements—dreamy shoegaze vocals and reverb-drenched noise, respectively—both find their way into The Band In Heaven's material. Their cover of the Cranberries "Dream" caught my attention immediately. After listening to it a couple times, it's hard to even remember the original. [...]
The Band in Heaven are a dirty duo from Florida keen to noisy shoegaze tunes. All we know is that they are offering a few demo songs on their BandCamp page and that they've just released a split tape with Weird Wives . But then again, Weird Wives are also from Florida and they are the noisy/punk side project of Surfer Blood (featuring 3 of their 5 members)! Now it all makes sense. You can find their split tape here , which will soon be available from Worker Bee Records. I love it when it all [...]
