Loma Vista

HEALTH is a noise rock band from Echo Park, Los Angeles. The band consists of four members: *Benjamin Jared Miller*, *Jake Duzsik*, *John Famiglietti*, and *Jupiter Keyes*. Each member hails from different cities including Seattle, San Diego, and their current home base, Los Angeles. Their unique sound combines elements of dance and electronica with slight influences from the noise rock genre.

Despite being categorized as noise rock, HEALTH's music stands out from other bands in the scene due to their innovative blend of genres. They have gained recognition for their eccentric and original music that sets them apart. Jake and Jupiter first met in college while John crossed paths with Jake at a guitar store. Jared joined the band through an online connection.

With a passion for creating exceptional music, HEALTH plans to continue touring extensively. They are dedicated to doing what they love best - producing distinctive and captivating tunes that captivate audiences worldwide.

Loma Vista is a record label founded by Tom Whalley, former chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Records and Executive of A&R at Interscope Records. The label was initially a joint venture with Republic Records and is based in Beverly Hills and Brooklyn.
In July 2014, the label announced it had changed strategic partners and was now part of Concord Music Group.

The L.A. industrial-rock band Health’s new album Rat Wars is the most violent yet vulnerable LP of their career. It is somehow fitting that such a brutal collection of songs is at the same time their most comprehensive artistic statement. Meticulously aggressive production detail collides with painfully personal confessions and a strange savage grace is paired with icy gallows humour… surprisingly it’s still fun as hell. Rat Wars joins the lineage of ground-breaking heavy acts like Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, which re-drew the borders between metal, electronic and pop music.

It also speaks directly to the band’s young, fervent online subculture. It’s The Downward Spiral for people with at least two monitors and a vitamin D deficiency. Written during the most emotionally trying period of the band’s life, the album builds on their chaotic yet re-invigorating pandemic years.

In that time, Health cut dozens of tracks with heroes and inheritors like Nine Inch Nails, Lamb of God, 100 Gecs, Poppy, and Pertubator on DISCO4. Rat Wars captures all the fury and ambition their LP’s have until now aspired to. It’s their boldest statement on the insanity and the insipidness of contemporary life.
