About Me

QUEENHIGH is a trio (Ryan Comerford, Alex Metcalfe, Cal Irvine) based out of Toronto, ON. The name comes from the saying: "It's not the hand you're dealt, but how you play it." As a band, we would like to thank Kailie Comerford and Alex MSK for providing backup vocals on some of our tracks and the Comerford family for putting up with our incessant noise, out of which came our first EP, The July Sessions, which was recorded entirely in Ryan's basement studio over the month of July 2006. The July Sessions went on sale August 18th, 2006 for $5 each. If you would like to buy one, we'd be happy to find a way to get it to you. Just let us know. The band has already written several more songs and will be doing some gigs in the coming months. Look out for our second EP in the coming months, in the mean time, Just Rock.

Played a show, Want more

So, I'm a bit late posting a blog about it, but on the 24th we played a show at the Smiling Buddha (on College). It was way fun. We started off with a few problems, but we persevered and ended the set...

To price an EP...

So the band has been having some debate on what to price the EP at. I think we're all in agreement when we say we want to make some profit, so we can keep making more without losing our life savings. ...

I'm good looking and the bass agrees

I write blogs. I am so cool. So, the band has been jamming again, finally, and Ryan sounds pretty good. Since we all know I have no talent, we can only assume that the bass is doing it on it's own to ...
