About Me |
|
| BIOGRAPHY Heads Held High hails from the greater Cleveland, Ohio area, and its five members have spent a great deal of time plunging the depths of the once-proud-city's punk/hardcore scene. Coming up in a musical community which often prides itself on tough guy posturing, crew mentalities and a tendency to play towards the metal side of the hardcore spectrum, H3 decided early on to head in a different direction. The quintet blends energetic and melodic hardcore punk in a style indebted to such greats as Gorilla Biscuits, Black Flag, and Dag Nasty; seamlessly meshed with modern influences like Strike Anywhere, Ignite, A Wilhelm Scream and Bane. Technical proficiency, explosive energy, and unrelenting sincerity are fused together to create music which is more than a nostalgic retread of the band's influences, but is instead a re-envisioning of the rules which govern so much of the modern hardcore landscape. These qualities shine through on every track of the band’s second self-produced, self-released and nationally distributed E.P. “Do or Do Not…There is No Try". Both of their releases have garnered a great deal of praise from both the press and their peers. Several of their songs have also appeared on nationally and internationally released compilations. Lyrically, Heads Held High delves into a variety of subjects. They promote tolerance and freedom of expression above all else; but also deal with issues, such as the importance of seeking knowledge, educated sociopolitical commentary , and the importance of maintaining youthful ideals and aspirations in a world which often strives to crush them. H3 has spent the last two years booking shows regionally and in their home state of Ohio in an attempt to share their music and message with anyone willing to listen. They have played with a plethora of established modern day stalwarts and upcoming firebrands ranging from The Spudmonsters and Murphy’s Law to Comeback Kid and Only Crime. Heads Held High is currently playing shows, booking a summer tour, and writing material for a proposed full length release while shopping their most recent recording to interested parties. PRESS "The music made me smile and got me excited about music again. . . and that is certainly saying something." - CINCYPUNK.ORG "Heads Held High has what it takes to leave a lasting impression." - SCENE MAGAZINE "This band has blown away many of their influence's first releases. The recording is solid, punchy and while raw, it has more cohesiveness then some bands have after three or four discs together." - DOMAIN CLEVELAND "They are catchy in that rare but good way where you feel little or no guilt for getting hooked on the first track...an energetic style of punk with hook stained intensity." - EAST COAST ROMPER "Melodic hardcore like this is a credit to the local scene." - CLEVELAND'S BURNING H3 SWAG ONLINE Shirts, stickers and CDs are available through our official webstore Select items are also available through You can now purchase tracks from "Do Or Do Not...There Is No Try" through iTunes!
