A Higher Neutral is a band revolving around heavy drums, powerful guitar, rich bass lines and a balladier's lyrics to bring out it's sound.
In the fall of 2004, Mitch Zodila and Mike Lamb got together with a guitar and a set of drums with dreams to make it big. The two of them decided to form a band with only a guitarist and a drummer... “Hey, The White Stripes did it!”... Shortly after their decision, they realized that The White Stripes suck and they wanted to be anything but them. Dave Hendriks was later thrown into the mix in 2005 and had been playing guitar for two years prior to the band forming. The three jammed for a few months and were ready to rock out. All they needed now was a bassist...
After placing “Bass Player Wanted” ads in music stores and many other failed attempts to keep a bassist before an up-coming, Mitch threw down his guitar and picked up a bass. After changing their entire set list to fit the songs to a single guitar, the band leapt onto the stage fearlessly, and were well received. After their success, they returned to the drawing board and worked their way into their own original sound for two years. The band had been named Shut La Bouche, and many other names and settled for This Week's Trend, but realizing that TWT was a band name that was currently in use by not one, but many bands, they gave it up for A Higher Neutral...
With their growing arsenal of equipment, they have managed to surpass financial difficulties associated with studio recording (basically we’re too poor to afford recording time) and created a demo with immaculate quality in the basements of their own homes.
In the spring of 2008, shortly after releasing their demo disc "The True Empathic EP" Mitch Zodila unfortunatley left the band. He would later replaced (but never forgotten) by Dylan Murray of Trial And Temptation. Both Dave and Mike were impressed with his skills and have since then, written many new songs.
A Higher Neutral is working its way onto the progressive rock scene with influences from bands like Black Sabbath, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Mudvayne, KISS, Our Lady Peace, Sick Puppies, Tiny Tim, and many others. Working their way past boundaries, A Higher Neutral delivers a sound that is not only exciting and powerful, but passionate as well, with tons of ass-kickery to boot.
“...A Higher Neutral, a rock band out of Niagara Falls, stole the stage with their heavy songs and punky attitude towards stage presence.” - MPSS News, 04/16/2007
The shows are fun, the music is powerful, the lyrics are moving. What more do you want from a band?
