There’s Love In This World If You Want It

From touring with everyone from Alexisonfire and Neck Deep to Comeback Kid and Cancer Bats, to signing to Roadrunner Records for their sophomore full-length ‘27 Miles Underwater,’ Higher Power have achieved the sort of things that, up until recently, would never have been on the horizon of possibility for a hardcore band of their ilk.

Emerging onto the Yorkshire hardcore circuit in 2015, Higher Power began innocently enough emulating and celebrating legendary bands like Leeway and Merauder for a new generation. The band quickly gained attention playing their first two shows in the basement of the house owned by The Flex and at an early iteration of Outbreak Fest respectively.

The ten years that have followed has seen them ride every ebb and flow that the music industry has to offer. ‘There’s Love In This World If You Want It,’ the band’s third full length release and debut on Nuclear Blast, is a record that encapsulates the Higher Power spirit in a way that only those whose hearts are truly entrenched in the band can produce.

Peeling away layers of assumption and ideology placed upon them by others and focusing once more on the genre-splicing experimentation that inspired them to create together in the first place, they have produced nine songs that showcase exactly what they are made of in a screaming rainbow of colour.
