Head with Wings are storytellers of sound. Textured, ethereal, and blissfully haunting, the U.S. - based quintet creates boundary-pushing rock songs that straddle the aesthetic line between art music and narrative drama. A Head with Wings song is a cinematically evocative listening experience, built on the pillars of alternative rock and forged in the depths of prog. It’s varied, emotionally potent and obsessive by nature. It’s a sound 14 years in the making – one that took its time to get here; to the point of Without Intervention. The new album is uncompromising in its vision and is acutely aware of the void that it fills in the modern rock landscape — an arena that is all too derivative.

Making noise since 2009, Head with Wings has spent years shaping its sound and sculpting its episodic narrative. After emerging from the New Haven, CT music scene in 2012, the band went on to release Living with the Loss (EP) in 2013, From Worry to Shame (LP) in 2018 and Comfort in Illusion (EP) in 2021. The current lineup consists of guitarists, Brandon Cousino and Sayre Whitford, vocalist, Joshua Corum, drummer, Mike Short and bassist, Joe Elliott.

After previously working with a trove of world class producers and engineers such as Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Skyharbor, Dead Letter Circus), David Castillo (Leprous, Opeth, Katatonia), Gregory Thomas (END, ex-Misery Signals), Kris Crummett (Dance Gavin Dance) and Frank Sacramone (Earthside), the band enlisted rising keyboard guru/producer Vikram Shankar (Silent Skies, Redemption) to perform on, co-produce, mix and master Without Intervention. The resulting concoction is harrowing and purely cathartic.

In recent years, Head with Wings has shared the stage with an array of bands across the progressive spectrum, such as: Between the Buried and Me, Vola, Sleep Token, Voyager, Earthside, Moon Tooth, Bent Knee, Thank You Scientist!, Mile Marker Zero, The Reign of Kindo, Emarosa, Jason Richardson, Smalltape, Soulsplitter, The Tea Club, Pattern-Seeking Animals, Dave Kerzner, Stick Men and many more. The band has also performed at notable festivals such as RoSFest and Euroblast with more tour dates to come in 2023 in support of the new album. Read more on Last.fm.
