High Castle

About Me


SOME WORDS & OTHER STUFF:
"We surrender rapturously to the low frequency onslaught from High Castle, a vertebrae-injury friendly supergroup hailing from SF. ‘We Can’t Dance with Jesus’ has been pumped with so much fuzz that stepping inside its zone of nasty feels like being nailed to the front of a custom-made cholo dragster jacked by a bunch of cranked-up noise gremlins and deployed to ultimate effects in the busy arcades of a suburban shopping mall while Satan’s Cheerleaders do pirouettes on the sides. It’s kind of pop like that, you know."

"I feel like I'm back in ear-bleeding country with the trio's Unwound-ishly, damaged style of noisy rock, nursing an insatiable appetite for more tinfoil-scorched guitar scuzz, blown-out low end, and full-tilt drum thwackage. As each song unloads, three howling voices punctuate the maelstrom. Try if you can to pass on this seven-song album after just one spin. If the punked-out oomph of "Soloman" and "No Mind" don't bite you hard in the ass, then the annihilating whomp of "Small Town Gay Bar" will certainly dish out the finishing touches."

"...sort of sound like a post apocalyptic beach blanket bingo band."

"Labeling San Francisco’s High Castle as “Bay area punk rock” doesn’t do them justice. The term has come to mean something rather passé (i.e. pop punk bands that sound like Green Day); however, the spirit of real punk rock still exists in The City by the Bay thanks to acts such as High Castle."
