Heavenly Blue are a seven-piece screamo outfit from Detroit, Michigan that have been active since 2021, evolving from the band Youth Novel. I went to add a link to my Youth Novel post to explain the backstory there. Turns out, they're one of many bands that slipped through the cracks, as there is no post on them. Thus, I'll either add their material here or make a separate post entirely, time permitting. In summary, Youth Novel were from Ann Arbor, they formed in 2012 and disbanded in 2016. A few members reunited in 2020, but by 2021 there were no original members left. They changed the name, and three years down the line released their first material under this moniker.
We Have The Answer came out in April of this year via Jeremy Bolm's Secret Voice label. Though it's technically a debut, the band already sounds honed and refined, brimming with dynamic energy. The vocals are varied, with rolling drums, syncopated riffs, and worming melody abound. If you're into Jeromes Dream, Gillian Carter, or Frail Body, this is a record not to miss this year. Enjoy.
