The addictive SomaHigh

Cult comedy show 'The Inbetweeners' gave a very humorous, yet magnified sense of what life is currently like when you're young and have undirected energy to burn on new experiences.

If the four lead characters had some mates in a band, it would have to be Southampton's 'SomaHigh'. Like that very successful programme they are 'of the now'.

SomaHigh weave great riffs around lyrics that pick the meat from people's lives.

For example in 'Flashback Tuesday' you'll hear: “Screaming after your ex while he's having a fight with the wall.”

You'll find more gems in 'Paper Chaser' and 'Lo Fat' and all of the other songs which appear on their debut album “Secrets That Didn't Happen” (released November 7th)

This disc and digital download is only 29 minutes long but if you are into tight, indie flavoured new wave, with a touch of the pathos delivered by Brit pop, then you are bound to be playing these tracks repeatedly.

They are written by singer/guitarist Sean Strugnell who's accompanied by Leon Azor on bass, Paul Wolf keyboards and Ryan Smith driving it along with the drums.

SomaHigh launch the album tonight (Fri 30th Sept) at The Joiners and, as Ryan explained, “this headline show is incredibly special. We're only giving Southampton fans first listen and will be selling advance copies along with limited edition Somahigh merchandise.”

It could be another classic Joiners evening when you have the opportunity to catch a band just before they explode onto the music scene.
