Texas native JOHN PENA began writing and performing under the HEAVENLY BEAT guise in the latter part of 2009. After a handful of unfulfilling and embarrassing live shows, John put performing on the back burner and began working on a stronger set of songs. After months of leisurely paced recording Jon left his bedroom with a couple of tracks that would become his first release on Captured Tracks in the form of the 7-inch single 'Suday'. Being influenced by nothing in particular has payed off as many have had trouble pinning the sound down as anything other than "immaculately arranged and paced" and "attractive music for attractive people". Thus again proving that just because you've heard a song by The Cure or Neil Young doesn't mean you have to ape it shamelessly to gain wide acceptance.
