艺人介绍
打着正宗英式摇滚(British Pop)旗帜的英国新秀乐队层出不穷，紧追在Coldplay、Starsailor身后跃上台面的就是这组前程似锦的Haven。由Gary Briggs(主唱/吉他手)、Iwan Gronow(贝司手)、Jack Mitchell(鼓手)与Nat Wason(吉他手)共组的四人乐队Haven成军于1996年，在英格兰西南方的Cornwall独立乐圈打滚一段时日后，名团The Smiths的前经纪人Joe Moss发掘了他们并介绍给The Smiths的前超级吉他手Johnny Marr。1999年Haven迁移至曼彻斯特(Manchester)发展，开始在当地的音乐指针级俱乐部Night & Day驻场演出，同时还受邀与Johnny Marr的新乐团The Healers及Badly Drawn Boy同台飙技。签约独立厂牌Radiate后，Haven旋即在2001年初发行了首张迷你专辑(EP)Til The End，一出师便告捷，大受乐评青睐。接着是首支单曲”Beautiful Thing”与Johnny Marr监制的第二支单曲”Let It Live”陆续发行。终于，2002年的早春，Haven首张专辑大作Between The Senses在Johnny Marr的护航下诞生了。不但创下150,000张的销售佳绩，还意外顺利地得到美国市场的热烈回响。
但Haven并非从此一帆风顺。在第二张follow-up专辑的筹备期间，吉他手Nat Wason竟遭病魔袭击导致颜面神经严重失调。等待Nat Wason归队的期间，Haven其它团员仍然和制作人Johnny Marr在录音室中努力生产新专辑。终于2004年的另一个春天，Haven的第二张大作All For A Reason问世了。惊喜发现因病痛而有所新领悟的Nat Wason吉他弹奏更具生命力及情感。而Haven青春洋溢、正面积极的摇滚青年生活哲学，绝对是All For A Reason专辑十首曲子中最令人感动的聆听经验。
British indie foursome Haven actually formed in Cornwall in the southwest of England before relocating to Manchester in 1999. Having already attracted the attention of former Smiths manager Joe Moss, they subsequently received the patronage of the band's former guitarist, Johnny Marr, as well. Featuring vocalist Gary Briggs, guitarist Nat Wason, bassist Iwan Gronow, and drummer Jack Mitchell, Haven jokingly named themselves after a local holiday camp before realizing that the moniker was an accurate reflection of the solace their music provided them with. The four had been jamming and playing live in their native region before Moss discovered them. After moving north, the band began a residency at the city's famed Night & Day club, as well as supporting Marr's band the Healers and Badly Drawn Boy.
Signing to indie label Radiate, Haven released their debut EP, Til the End, in early 2001 to rave reviews. After more touring, the single &Beautiful Thing& emerged in July to further critical plaudits. Their second single, &Let It Live,& was the first fruit of the Johnny Marr-produced recording sessions for their debut album. A debut full-length Between the Senses appeared in early 2002 as well as an American deal with Virgin. Stateside fans finally got a taste of Haven in October 2002 when Between the Senses was released in the U.S.
