Higher Power are an English hardcore punk band formed in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 2014. They have released two full-length studio albums, with their second album, 27 Miles Underwater, being their major label debut through Roadrunner Records.

In 2014, drummer Alex Wizard moved from London to Leeds and then began writing music with his brother Jimmy Wizard. They intended to record just a single demo, inspired by the sound of Leeway and Merauder. The band took its name from the Subzero song of the same name.
