At the end of 2011, Guitarist Steve Weston (from Southend, and Runs RAYGUN FX pedals) and bassist Lee Yates swapped demos and soon began work on recording two EPs which was release in Aug 2012.
Mixing their influences of 90’s grunge and alt.rock bands such as Feeder, Weezer, Bob Mould & Ash, High/Low was born.
In 2013 they ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund their debut full length album, ‘Stuck In A Void’, which was released 30 May 2014.
In late 2014, drummer Dave Pankhurst joined the band as a full time. They later released their first recording with their new drummer, titled ‘Autospy’ in Jan 2016.
In June 2016 The band took some time off to work on other projects.
2018
After almost a 2 year break, HIGH/LOW returned April 1st 2018 with a release exclusively for record store Day. 2 brand new tracks on very limited 7” Vinyl and CD. The Vinyl sold out in minutes!
Our new release ’Skeletons’ is coming 27th July 2018 on 10” Vinyl, CD & Download. We recorded it in May 2018 and produced ourselves in our own studio.
Tracked in just 3 days, the recording is raw and spontaneous.
“We wanted to release something short and direct before we worked on our next full length album, after recording the 2 tracks for our Record Store Day release, that set the direction. It’s nice to not pick apart every bass drum hit, or every vocal note, and worry about it being on the grid. If it feels right, it’s right!” Steve Weston (Vocals & Guitar) The songs we chose for this mini album are short and fun, with most tracks around the 2 minute mark, it squeezes in fuzzy riffs and summery melodies together with the HIGH/LOW sound.
The artwork was all hand made by Steve. He collected a bunch of old magazines and cut out 100’s of pieces, then glued them together and made a collage that just matched the sound of the album.
You can pre-order the bands album on 10” Vinyl, CD & download from their record label www.instereorecords.co.uk
