HAVEN - Turn It Up CD (US IMPORT!) (Pre-Order)

Haven is a melodic hard rock band that formed in Cleveland Ohio in the early 1980's. The band started out with the early demos being more AOR and reminiscent of Aldo Nova and Survivor. The band got a more hard rock edge that was more in the vein of bands like Fastway and Icon. Haven moved out to Hollywood California where they filmed a music video for the song "Turn It Up" that was recorded at Cal. Art (same location that Quiet Riot filmed their "Metal Health" music video) and the music video got played on MTV's basement tapes. By chance the first band that "Haven" met after moving to Hollywood was the band "Poison". Brett, Rikki and the boys helped "Haven" get into an apartment right next door to them. The bands partied a lot together which gave them a quick insertion to the famous Sunset Strip. During this time "Haven" would get an opening slot playing with Poison as well as Thor. Haven put out their self-titled EP and were quickly brought over to the UK to play several shows with bands such as "Heavy Pettin" and "Paul Dianno's Battle Zone" and their music video got airplay on "Music Box" (UK's equivalent of MTV). The EP charted on the London circuit as the EP was sold at Shades Music Store. After the band broke up, Todd (drummer) went onto form the band NEWHAVEN. Darryl went onto win a Grammy producing for Macy Gray. Todd would later drum for "A.Z.R.O.", "D.F.M." and Anna Sahlene".
