Healees was formed in Paris by American expat Bryan Quinn and Breton transplant Renaud Chaure in 2016. Together with Swedish born Hillevi Robertsson on bass and Hugo Renaud on drums, the 4-piece blend shoegaze, new wave, noise and power pop into a style as mesmerizing as it is catchy.

A set of demos in 2020 led to a self-titled maxi-EP on Toulouse’s Hidden Bay Records in 2022, with a full-length LP released in October 2024 by Hidden Bay Records, Safe Suburban Home Records and Indie or Die Records. The band have shared a stage with Ride and Lorelle Meets the Obsolete amongst many other excellent bands.

Healees has been described as ‘21st-century shoegazers amazingly as great as 1988-1995’s originals” (the Big Takeover), ‘the best shoegaze band in France’ (Paris Popfest), and ‘one of the most interesting bands on the European scene in recent years‘ (JustAnotherPopSong)!

“Sheer jangle-gaze brilliance from start to finish.” - Janglepophub

“The Ride-sque “White Room” is rife with echoing ringing guitars, fluent mesmeric atmospherics, driving rhythms, and soft vocal harmonies with the band’s distinctive penchant for wistful melodies.” - White Light/White Heat
