HEALTH樂隊來自美國加州，由四個大男生組成，分別是： 吉他Jacob Duzsik和Jupiter Keyes, 貝斯John Famiglietti，鼓手BJ Miller。之所以選擇了這個樂隊名稱，是因為他們想用一個日常詞匯去代表音樂就像空氣和呼吸一樣自然而然。在首張同名專輯發行后，他們立刻被形容成“藝術化的噪音美學和原始合成器、單一聲線加入瘋狂鼓點 ”。他們很快加入了Crystal Castles 的巡演，并再一次確立了自己的不對稱的無調音樂風格。為了這次的converse過噪巡演，他們第一次來到中國，展開五大城市的音樂尋覓。 Stemming from a D.I.Y. noise scene based around the downtown L.A. art space The Smell, Health make mathy indie rock with tribal drums, squealing guitars, asymmetrical basslines, and a homemade guitar pedal/microphone called a Zoothorn. As a four-piece led by Jacob Duzsik, the band played its first show after practicing together for six months, and after a short tour started making a go in Los Angeles, playing ten-minute sets with likeminded local bands like Ex Models, No Age, and Mika Miko. After a few more tours and a slot at SXSW, they returned to home base and started recording their debut album at The Smell. Capturing the cavernous brick acoustics with vintage microphones, Health featured a unique brand of aggressive and concise songs, and was released by Lovepump Records in 2007. Soon after, they started touring with pals Crystal Castles, an aggressive electro duo that had previously shared a 7" with the band. Health also remixed their song "Crimewave" that year.
