High Street

<a href="spotify:artist:2OTfUunQxEgHg500ywjx9w" data-name="High Street">High Street</a> got its roots in lead guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:65a1lbdsxgKacFG7fq2m0P" data-name="Erik Findling">Erik Findling</a>&#39;s Chicago attic. The young middle-schooler at the time – who first picked up a guitar at the age of four – enlisted his brother, Kurt, to assemble a group with some of their musically-inclined classmates. Their attic rehearsal space looked out onto the corner of High Street, inspiring the band’s name. While still in junior high, High Street’s musical prowess surpassed some of the city&#39;s most seasoned music veterans and allowed them to play at renowned Chicago venues such as The Double Door, Hard Rock Café, Subterranean, among others. As the band garnered more success, Findling began to compose original music for the group, and soon after, the band collaborated and recorded albums with acclaimed producer Sean O’Keefe, who is best known for his work with <a href="spotify:artist:4UXqAaa6dQYAk18Lv7PEgX" data-name="Fall Out Boy">Fall Out Boy</a>. When it came time for the members to go off to college, the band parted ways. With this new development, Findling decided to pursue solo work, exploring different genres, and playing at a multitude of different venues. Once he moved back to Los Angeles, he felt inspired to start the band back up again. The band’s rebirth now includes the sensational vocals of <a href="spotify:artist:2fJPjjQ9FerP1Rtfkjb7PA" data-name="Noxigen">Noxigen</a>, Nic Metaxas on bass, and Brando Nikales on drums. Each member of the four-piece outfit brings a fresh new take on the hard rock genre. Using his background in Indian classical music, Noxigen delivers awe-inspiring vocals that fuse perfectly with Findling’s chill-inducing guitar.
