The band was formed in 2002 in Jelenia Gora (Poland). However, the current vocalist (Przemek) joined the group in October 2004. In 2005 highwind composed the majority of their songs, they also performed a few concerts and unaidedly managed to record DEMO CD. In June 2005 the band was forced to put a break on playing because of the absence of two players who were undergoing study internships abroad.
Highwind reengaged in playing in March 2006, unfortunately without the bass player (Tomek) who had moved out to Warsaw. Michal (a former bass player of a jazz trio - Opus Pocus) became the new highwind's musician.
Currently the band is working intensively, they create new songs and play a number of concerts every month. They have already taken part in a few festivals in their country (Student Rokk Festival - Wroclaw, FAMA - Wroclaw, Rock Bands' Review - Legnica) and in Germany (Stustaculum - Monachium, 15Grad Rock on the Bridge - Goerlitz). Besides, they performed in various parts of the region (Od zmierzchu do Switu - Wroclaw, Juvenalia - Jelenia Gora, Neisse University - Goerlitz, pubs and musicalclubs in Jelenia Gora, Walbrzych, Swidnica...)
On the 9th of June 2006 they were qualified to the finals of "Jelenia Gora Rock League". They are still looking for someone who could publish and promote their music.
