PETER JESPERSON / NEW WEST RECORDS
"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." TOM HALLETT / ROUND THE DIAL
"These local rocky-tonk heroes-to-be are equally at home spewing ‘Mats-ian vinegar, howlin’ out Haggard-isms or riffin’ off Rolling Stones-y lyrical lashings." ABSOLUTE POWERPOP /
“High on Stress comes by their 'Mats-loving cred a little more naturally, being from Minneapolis themselves. They differ a bit from Teenage Rasputin in that they have of a more Americana-influenced sound, perhaps a little more Hootenanny than Pleased to Meet Me. they're building up quite an impressive body of work." MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG /
“Just hearing the lads in High On Stress sends me on a nostalgia bruise cruise of wasting away endless Moorhead winter nights in the relative comfort of the vinyl booths in holes like Ralph’s and Kirby’s, listening to The Gear Daddies on the juke. The foursome, who also serve as Slim Dunlop’s hired guns, recently released their junior (is that right?) effort, Living Is A Dying Art. Nothing too fancy here, kiddos. Just come-as-you-are Americana and songs as sturdy as Grandpa’s back, before that goddamned factory job done him in. Highly recommended.” |
