Bio
......REQUEST "COP LIGHT PARADE" at the Current 89.3 FM........ .............. ...... .......... "High on Stress carry on in the grand tradition of Minneapolis music - great rock 'n' roll with a rootsy slant; cheeky at times, consistently well written and played".... -Peter Jesperson - New West Records.... "Have you ever tried to write a killer rock song? How about 12 of them? It's hard but High on Stress make it sound easy".... -Bob Longmore - City Pages.... "A tight, honest, refreshing batch of new tunes from an outfit that defies genre, refuses to fall into categorization and continues to pen one stunning classic-to-be after another".... -Tom Hallet - Round the Dial.... "High on Stress make the kind of music Minneapolis was once known for: heart-on-sleeve bar rock with just a hint of the prairie, the sort of tunes that groups like Soul Asylum and the Replacements rode to mythic status. They come darn close to matching the squalid splendor of their forebears on Cop Light Parade".... -Rob Van Alstyne - Metromix (Kare11).... "I think regular readers will testify that I haven’t lost my sense of childlike excitement and slavish enthusiasm when I do come across something that hits me in that musical G-spot somewhere between the ears, brain and heart. High on Stress are the latest who can count themselves members of that roster".... -Last Year's Girl (Glasgow).... "You won't be over this baby in one play. It's tantalizing intrigue will keep you coming back for more".... -Power Pop Review (UK).... "They're a band not too cool to call themselves alt-country and that's a good indicator of the album's pure, inspired sound".... -Chris Riemenschneider - Star Tribune.... "Minneapolis has a storied musical history. Luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Prince, the Replacements and even the Hold Steady have some sort of a link to the chilly region. After listening to "Cop Light Parade" I can't help but feel like they have done their ancestors proud".... -Twangville (Texas).... "High on Stress has mastered the sound that has made their city so revered in the rock stratosphere".... -Late Night Wallflower (New York City).... "When I first heard High On Stress, a smile spread across my face within the first few seconds of the song starting. There’s this undeniable influence from The Replacements in their tunes, and a Paul Westerberg-like croon always reminds me of better days".... -Burgo (Australia).... "Easygoing, instantly likeable".... -Ross Raihala - Pioneer Press.... .. .. .. -
