In late 2023, Pressure Heaven burst onto the scene sounding like a group that’s been together for years. Their intoxicating blend of dreamy shoegaze and industrial heft felt fully formed from the jump, and it’s only gotten better. Each year in Nashville, there are a handful of new bands that pop up on lineups over and over again, and Pressure Heaven has been one of the busiest in 2024. Heaps of gigs, including memorable opening slots for Pale Lungs and Twen, let them hone their chops to a fine edge for their debut EP Head Start. That’s excellent for a year’s work that also included standout visual art exhibitions from vocalist Grace Hall.
