Bio:
HIGH SPIRITS began in Chicago in early 2009 with a series of fun songwriting sessions and demo recordings. Soon, there were 10 songs recorded, enough for an album. It was released as a plain white-label LP at the first HIGH SPIRITS live show, which was in August of 2009. Only a handful copies sold that night, but the rest sold quickly through the mail to fans all over the world.The demos compilation album was soon released on digipack CD by Cruz del Sur Music and on gatefold vinyl by High Roller Records. During 2010 the band did a lot of shows around the Midwest USA and self-released a 7” single titled “Let’s Rock”. Interest was building for a proper full-length album, and studio sessions began in early 2011. Because the demos collection had been so successful, it was decided that all new songs would go on the album. In May, recordings took a break for the band to do a two-week tour in the USA.Titled ‘Another Night’, High Roller Records released the album on CD and LP in August of 2011, and the response was sensational. The audiences loved it, and the response from the press was fantastic, with the band named top newcomer of 2011 by Rock Hard Magazine.By 2012, demand was “high” in Europe to see the band live. Keep It True Festival soon was in touch to offer a spot on their 2013 bill, and the band happily accepted. But the Rock Hard crew just could not wait that long, so they asked the band to play the Rock Hard Festival in May of 2012. On the same trip, HIGH SPIRITS also played two club gigs in Germany and also Muskelrock festival in Sweden. In 2013 the band returned to Europe, performing in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, and Belgium before the long-awaited finale at Keep It True. It was all a lot of fun and a big success!At the end of 2013, HIGH SPIRITS began working on the follow-up album ‘You Are Here’, with studio sessions wrapping up in early 2014. The album will be released on CD and LP in Europe by High Roller Records (April 25th) and in North America by by Hells Headbangers (May 13th). The band’s popular namesake song will also be released as a limited-edition 7” single by both labels, each with a different exclusive B-side.To celebrate the album release, HIGH SPIRITS will hit the road in the USA and Canada in April. With other exclusive live appearances planned for 2014 and a European return already announced for early 2015, the coming months are sure to be full of excitement for HIGH SPIRITS and their fans!
Album:
Like its predecessor, 2020’s Hard to Stop, the latest from HIGH SPIRITS was recorded by bandleader Chris at his home studio in Chicago, and then mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound. "Things always sound different from the inside" says Chris, "and it’s foolish to generalize. But I think whereas Hard to Stop put my German and British influences in front, Safe on the Other Side seems to favor my American and Scandinavian influences. More importantly though, this is a HIGH SPIRITS album all the way, and you’ll be able to feel that instantly when 'In the Moonlight' hits you!"
