Devora
Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | Spotify
Raised in the desert of Arizona, Devora draws inspiration from her roots, growing up around
desert creatures in a western town, experiencing the sinister lawless side of desert life, and the
characters she’s met along the way. In her modern goth-western vignettes she conjures images
of ghost towns, dark rodeos, the haunted desert, abandoned motel rooms, skylines on fire, the
open road and reckless tales of love and loss in a modern wild west. These influences have
made her into a desperado of modern culture. Her sound bridges Alternative Country melodies
with dark pop and rock hooks drawing you into her surrealist western world.
Coining her own genre, “Outlaw Pop,” she weaves visual soundscapes from a moody surrealist
wild-west dream world. Tales of eerie backroad encounters, Route 66, neon-laden casinos,
Silver City sunsets and midnight bandits are all intricately enmeshed with strong visceral
imagery and cinematic scenes straight out of the ‘dark side’ of the American southwest. Owning
the road as her home, Devora’s fierce femme fatale spirit trail-blazes the way for a new frontier
in contemporary culture.
Devora is not just music, but also an ethos of the Wild West re-imagined for our current chaotic
times. It’s not just her story – it’s all of our stories: To choose and be immersed in your own
adventure; to harness your own inner outlaw. Her music celebrates life in the fast lane while
marking the beginnings of a wild expedition ahead and the spiritedness of riding off into a
pitch-black sunset.
Devora’s debut EP, ‘Outlaw’, celebrated life in the fast lane, offering an inner glimpse into a mad
world of exile and rebellion, love and lawlessness, and the side roads and back alleys of
modern American life.
It was her first installment of a fierce collective of stories and art that illustrate a perfect portrait
of her dark wild west. The EP saw support at radio, peaking top five on the SubModern
Commercial Specialty Charts, and press write-ups at places like AltPress, Inked, and Earmilk.
The ‘Outlaw’ EP has garnered 2.3 million streams to date.
Devora has toured the US and was direct support on a sold-out series of dates with The
Warning in the spring of 2022, as well as support for BUSH on their sold out US tour in 2023.
Heavy Halo

Heavy Halo is conflict: darkness vs. light, noise vs. melody, machine vs. skin and bone.
It is wide-eye idealism dragged down to the dirt by harsh reality.
Heavy Halo is a Goth-Grunge blood-pact forged in the NYC underground between McKeever
and Gosteffects.
The band takes the spirit and existential angst of Alternative and Industrial and passes it
through the shattered prism of the internet age, refracted and made new.
Jagged guitars and raw electronics explode over gut-rattling 808's. But at their core, Heavy Halo
are melody junkies, lacing tracks with shameless hooks and McKeever's 100% unfiltered vocals.
As direct as the music is, the origin of the band is anything but straightforward...
McKeever spent years studying composition at Columbia University while playing every
sweat-soaked DIY venue possible. Gosteffects was banging out weaponized techno at illegal
raves across the country. Finally, the two met and immediately felt something in common: both
would be dead if they didn't create music.
But Heavy Halo wouldn't come together until after McKeever went through a chaotic spiral that
sent him to New Orleans, Los Angeles, a psychiatric ward, and back.
They regrouped in New York’s pandemic wasteland, holed up in Gosteffect's studio built in a
former hospital. Driven by desperation and claustrophobia, clawing up the walls as they closed
in, they ended up crafting the most emotional songs either had ever recorded. The resulting
debut album was pure catharsis.
After releasing the self-titled LP on Negative Gain, the duo exploded onto the NYC live scene,
performing relentlessly at venues like Elsewhere, LPR, and TV Eye. In just a year after putting
out their 1st single they were already ranking on lists of “Hardest Working Bands in NYC” and
“Unmissable New York Live Acts” as well as being covered in publications such as Alt Press,
Post-Punk.com, and New Noise.
Feeling the pressure to annihilate any possibility of a sophomore slump, the band dug even
deeper inward to write, record, and produce the follow up record themselves. They aimed for
even further extremes, reaching towards apparent opposites: aggression & beauty, violence &
romance, heaviness & melody – doubling down on their philosophy that songs need conflict to
exist. This process almost broke them, but the resulting album, “Damaged Dream,” surpasses
the debut in every way. The dream may be damaged but it’s not dead in the water quite yet.
Heavy Halo is getting up after life beats the shit out of you and spitting back in its face.
In all this conflict, Heavy Halo is the revenge.
