"In a world of emo/screamo imitators, loops, and computer sound
libraries; where every new band wants to sound like the radio flavor
of the day and every new wave is one step closer to modulated noise,
Hi Tied is different. They pursue classic ideals: good song writing,
tight harmonies, and real instruments played well. Instead of hiding
behind tattoos, piercings, and a protective wall of sound, they use
music to reveal themselves, and in so doing pull us out into the
open. They are fun, they are poignant, they are worth listening to."

However, this isn't meant to be spam. This is just a humble invite for you to come to our myspace, have a listen to the music and leave us some feedback? We'd really appreciate it, and we'll always reply to you.
