HEY GRAVITY! is the new project of singer and chanteuse JUSTINE BERRY, previously front-person of celebrated UK garage rockers M.A.S.S – losing none of the energy of that previous band, but wanting to spread things a bit more evenly between the girls and boys, she has teamed up with guitarist and side-kick ANNA HALL and a couple of her ex-M.A.S.S. compadres, to form HEY GRAVITY!, keeping the lineage going by being named after one of her previous bands most noted songs.
Recording their debut album has been an epic journey for HEY GRAVITY! but now after nearly two years in the making they are about to unleash ‘RISEN’ a debut that fulfils all of the potential displayed in their blistering live shows. Two girls and three boys, about to win hearts and minds.

Recording sessions for the album began in 2005 in San Francisco with producer Jeff Saltzman (The Killers ‘Hot Fuss’, The Sounds etc.), keeping artistic control over every aspect of the music by financing the project themselves. Completing the album to a sound and consistency that Justine and the gang felt fulfilled the full potential of the songs, has taken some time, blood, sweat and tears but finally a Knight in shining armour appeared in the shape of David Rousseau ( Dad Records) in France. After hearing the unfinished tapes he demanded that he should become Executive Producer and help complete the album, finally enlisting the talents of mixing team The Macchiato Kids (Mark Plati and Tom Mckay) ensuring that all the songs reached their potential… they have… and more.

JUSTINE was first spotted by BBC Radio One in the UK, with her band M.A.S.S. being the first band chosen to launch OneMusic, Radio One’s new music initiative and yes, it was the debut track ‘Hey Gravity’ chosen by DJs, Jo Whiley, Steve Lamacq and others to launch the project. M.A.S.S. were also one of the last band to be championed by legendary UK DJ John Peel and ‘Hey Gravity’ ended the year in the Top 5 of his annual Festive 50. It is partly in respect to John Peel that the band chose ‘Hey Gravity’ as the name for the new project, and Justine also wrote her song ‘Perfumed Garden’ in tribute to him.

Now the only way is up - The debut HEY GRAVITY! album ‘RISEN’ has just been released in France (FEB ’07) and while discussions with labels continue for a other European / US releases, the impact in France has been instantaneous with the band playing sold-out shows in Paris, already showing at No.12 in the French national airplay charts and appearances on some of the biggest national music TV shows such as Taratata (www.taratata.net )
In 2006 Hey Gravity were chosen to be part of the first British Music Week in Berlin and are happy to be returning for the 2007 event in Köln.
