LA-based foursome Kiven are off to a pretty formidable start as far as the college rock scene is concerned—besides honors like Entertainment Weekly's nod as one of the Great Indie Discoveries of the CMJ Music Marathon festival in 2012, and BMI’s Indie Spotlight Artist in 2013, they've paired up with a heavy-hitting producer on their new full-length self-titled album. Indie drumming vet Tony Hajjar (of At the Drive-In and Sparta) helped produce Kiven's soon-to-be-breakout single “I Can Take It,” a track that pulled the heaviest, hardest sound from the band yet. They just wrapped up their Spring Tour last month—catch them as they head back to OC for a mid-week show at the Constellation Room.
