"Balance, taste, balls and talent...The Highway delivers a healthy dose of harmonies and an over all great performance of rock and roll." - The Berklee Groove
"Songs change keys into bridges without being either prog-rock-fruity or predictable. The Highway moved here from Venezuela, and maybe that geographical distance explains some of the freshness they bring to tired territory. See them now so you can be smug about it later." - The Noise
Since the premier of their new lineup in the autumn of 2007, The Highway has been captivating audiences with their propulsive, energetic and highly idiosyncratic take on rock and roll. The bands roots are firmly planted in Caracas, Venezuela, where Daniel and Luis Miguel first started to write music together. Drawing on a love of 60s rock icons like The Beatles and The Doors as well as more modern British bands such as Supergrass and Blur, they began to develop a sound that was informed by the past yet honestly reflected their own current experiences. Establishing themselves as one of the foremost live bands in the city, they won the prestigious Caracas Interschools New Band competition and soon found themselves on a one-way flight to Boston to study music and expose their original take on rock and roll to the country where it was first born. Within weeks, they had begun playing with drummer Ted Mac Innes and, eventually, David Kaye on guitar, both of whom had played music together throughout their childhood in Connecticut. During this time, the sound of the band began to crystallize: a unique, visceral form of rock and roll with occasional tinges of blues, reggae, jazz and other styles that each individually brought into the fold. They released an eponymous debut in 2006, and have continued to record in the past few years, with an EP due in May and full length this fall. All the while, they have been performing throughout the Northeast, motivated by an honest desire to share the joy they feel when making music with others. While they recall the luminaries of the 60s rock era, The Highway brings a thoroughly modern poignancy and vigor that feels all-too-rare in these current times.
