SomaHigh are a rock band from the South Coast. Their name comes from Aldous Huxley's classic sci-fi novel Brave New World, in which the feel-good drug of choice goes by the name of soma. Their ambitious sophomore EP titled ‘Something About You’ fashions modern melodic punk rock, mixed with their own brand of pop-tastic groove.

 

SomaHigh have built a huge local following and regularly sell out shows in their home town of Southampton. Previous support slots with Razorlight, Cage the Elephant, The Baddies and Supergrass’s ‘Hot Rats’ have spread the word further afield.

 

Their debut EP titled ‘Lo Fat’, released in 2009, got an excited response from the rock media, with radio support coming from Kerrang, XFM and Total Rock. Reviewers noted SomaHigh’s enthusiasm for experimentation, frantic pace changes and a penchant for infectious singalong choruses.

 

Sean Strugnell, vocalist, song writer and beguiling frontman, reflects on his thoughts and emotions, love and modern life. The infusion of bassist Leon Azor’s heavy flowing groove with drummer Ryan Smith’s mesmeric beats and rolls brings energy and presence, whilst keyboardist Paul Wolf delivers atmospheric synth and powerful keys.

 

The EP ‘Something About You’ will be released on The Animal Farm label on 27th September 2010 and available via i-Tunes and major download sites.

"Perhaps the most chattered about act in London right now, Miss Ebony Bones is a one of a kind songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and all-round femme fatale who mixes up post-punk stylings, with pure girl sass. Enlisting a six piece crew of rhythm section and backing vocalists, the Ebony Bones live experience is one part punk rock show, one part Mardi Gras carnival parade." - Time Out
