The High Court truly delivers their own brand of crunchy, risqué rock ‘n’ roll. On this their debut effort is nothing short of a roller-coaster ride, filled with torrid tales, spine tingling melodies, and plenty of shredding guitars. From the self-titled opener to “Down in Flames” its heavy finally, this record doesn’t quit. “2 Much Love for 1 Woman” is as catchy as it is topically edgy. Where “In Bambi’s Eyes” could make any old school Fall Out Boy fan begin to swoon. Puppet Strings is definitely a unique album, genre-jumping from hard to classic rock fused with pop punk overtones. Plain and simple this is a pure “rock out” record, one that I highly recommend!

I agree with this review for certain. However….these guys are somehow, sometimes overlooked, I don’t get it at all. They are very special, unique, not the same-old-guitar-compressed-wall-of- mush…. The parts all have their place, the lyrics are witty, sarcastic, sometimes sleazy but in a sexy, dirty, fun, everybody-get-into-a-good-mood-or-get-outta-here-and-go-listen-to-blah-blah-blah-band….kinda’ way. It’s a great listen and really is infectious unless you are previously infected with the blah-blah-blah-band garbage and know no better!! Do yourself a favor. Buy this, reset your brain and have a good time!!!!!!!!!! See them LIVE, it’s awesome!!! Let’s spread the word, world, sexy back, whatever……..let’s get high now……let’s get back into the swing, crank up your guitars and play.
THC is the shit, when I say this I mean the band.
