The Higher Elevations play power pop in the same vein as their countrymen The Wannadies and (the now defunct) This Perfect Day and Psychotic Youth, with a slightly stronger psychedelic touch to their songs. And just like those band The Higher Elevations will definitely make you tap your feet, but most likely they'll inspire you to undertake some pogo dancing. The second song on this three track EP, "Just like Juliet", only required one listening before it had etched itself onto my membrane, and although it's pretty damn cold outside, this song makes me feel like going to the park and do some flips on my skateboard while drinking beer and dancing simultaneously. The only negative thing about these songs is that they might be a bit TOO melodic, thus making them date too quickly, but for now they sure do the trick and make me thirst for more songs from this excellent band (and beer).

There's also a full-length in the works, due for release sometime around October. A ten-date tour will happen over there in November and I should have dates to post soon.

Solid power-pop akin to bands like David & the Citizens or maybe Peter, Björn and John. It's good, but I kind of wish the vocals were a bit stronger. Frontman Niklas Gustafsson definitely sounds better when he lets loose more such as on songs like "Lovestruck", but when he doubletracks his voice the performance suffers. I much rather hear energy and passion than a note-perfect take.
