"Soma High are a talented act that are delivering some extremely high quality, dynamic music. The songs are diverse, giving them room to grow as a band and that gives them the potential to become even better." BBC
"A dark sound driven by guitars and bolstered by intense keyboards...The lyrics are worthwhile with plenty of restrained anger delivered through an emotionally vulnerable performance." The-Mag
SomaHigh are from Southampton, England. They are: Sean Strugnell- vocals, guitars, keys, laptop Leon Azor- bass, keys, BVs Rob Crisp- drums. Sean and Leon met through mutual friends whilst still at school. Within a matter of months, and still only at the tender ages of 15 and 16 respectively, they had formed their first punk band, playing gigs at such venues as The Barfly (Camden) and the Joiners (Southampton). Skip a few years of constant gigging and it became apparent that both wanted to move together in a different musical direction. Sean's songwriting had moved on from a youthful angry punk sound to one that was darker, more soulful and atmospheric. Rob was the last to join the band after being introduced to Sean through a friend. Their first few months together were spent in their studio formulating and developing the band's own distinct sound. Further well received support slots have followed with bands such as RedJetson, The Boxer Rebellion, Martin Grech, Simple Kid, Mew and Razorlight.
