The Higher Interview May 18th, 2005

The Higher

- Please state your name in the band, position and favorite animal.

Tom: my name is tom. I�m the guitarist, and if I could be any animal it would be a panda, because it eats bamboo, and its healthy.

- How did the higher start?

Tom: Everyone met in high school, well everyone except for me, and they started, but I knew them in high school. And they just started a band, and later I joined.

- You just have a record that just hit stores how would you describe it in one word?
Tom: Awesome, haha that’s hard, but I do like awesome.

- How long have you been signed to Fiddler Records?

Tom: About two years in about a month. They are really good to us we love them, they love us, and we are ready to have this record out with them.

- How has the band matured in the past two years?

Tom: We matured just through playing out instruments and learning how to play them a lot better. And coming more in tune with writing songs.

- Who influenced you to start playing music?

Tom: probably for me it would be Blink 182, and anyone playing a guitar when I was younger. I went to a Blink show when I was like 13 and I was like I want to do that, I want to play music.

- Who are your influences non-musically?

Tom: Chris Rock and Pablo Francisco

- Who is Pablo Francisco?

Tom: he’s a comedian
- Who writes the songs?

Tom: Usually someone comes with a part and everyone just jams around and makes parts to sound good together.

- What is your dream tour to play?

Tom: it would be awesome to go out to a Jimmy Eat World, The Who and Bob Dylan, there�s so many. A tour with like thirty bands and we could all pick like six, that�s our dream tour.

- What would be your dream tour to watch?

Tom: Lenny Kravitz, pink Floyd and maybe a band called Long Ways, its weird music but that would be awesome to watch.

- What are you expecting for the upcoming tour?

Tom: we aren’t expecting much we want to get our music out as much as possible, and let word of our new record, but there might be shows that only 5 kids show up to. We just can�t wait to get back on the road; we are expecting a good time.

- Any last words

Tom: buy our record, in a Chicago accent, its really good, you will like it, its something new and exciting, if your tired of screaming, you�ll love it.

- Thanks.

    I really do recommend this band to anyone looking for that good Alternative sound with a new pop beat to it. The Higher is within that good ol’ comfort zone with a new fresh attitude. And, in agreement to the previous comment, ‘Insurance?’ is a great song. I’m looking forward to picking up the album sometime.
