All new and original CD with Nervous Records UK in November 2008. We've played with the best from Deke Dickerson to The Chop Tops to Three Bad Jacks and The Quakes, from Viva Las Vegas to LA to San Francisco with a trip to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in between.
Annoying you since 2004 with those "Hotwire.com" TV commercials that played everywhere.

“I dig this release with mostly original material that rocks but emphasizes melody. It has a great sound with especially expert guitar work - a powerful performance by Los High Tops."

LOS HIGH TOPS "Texas Radio" Review by Richard Davis Car Kulture Deluxe - April 2009
(Excerpt - get Car Kulture Deluxe Magazine for full review)
“Texas Radio,” the first track and the title of the CD refers to a somewhat rebellious yet intriguing sound from an unreachable far off radio station. “Honey Baby Sugar” keeps the love alive with a bit of bebop, perfectly placed instrumentals and a beat that made me want to listen over and over.
Two other notable tracks, “Hotwire” and “Death Agent 13” are well-played instrumentals. They’re shadowy, showy and fun. So if you like rockabilly skinned of affectation and free of gaseous and directionless hypertuniness (yes, I made up that word), this is the band for you.

LOS HIGH TOPS Stake Their Claim
Review by Hicks With Sticks Editors
...
The title rockabilly track literally jumps out of the speakers. "I saw my baby's note today in pieces on the floor...". Yep, looks like she's been lost to Texas radio. This song ticks along through some intricate guitar work, including harmonics. Guitar harmonics in a rockabilly song? Yes, Los High Tops are not just doing this as a three-chords and cloud of dust band.
The opening three tracks are all rockabilly songs with flourishes that keep them from being "just rockabilly." The fourth, "Hotwire," is a surf instrumental for those of us who are tired of surf instrumentals because it's mercifully not a Dick Dale or Ventures rehash; it clocks in at a mere 1:34 but is so rich that it stands up to repeated listenings, a trait that can escape 99% of surf instrumentals. This track begs to be on vinyl, so the band did the next best thing and tacked the sound of a needle entering a groove onto the front of the song, thinking that a CD needs a little hiss and crackle sometimes....
