Back in the early 2000s, H.e.a.t were a bunch of kids in Upplands Vasby, Sweden, dreaming of being somewhere else. Somewhere with palm trees instead of snow, where Def Leppard and Iron Maiden ruled instead of Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. Since forming in 2007 they’ve made good on those dreams (creatively at least), and this year hit a gleeful, glossy new peak with H.e.a.t II.
