Soma High

About

Somahigh began life when singer-song writer, Sean Strugnell and Bass player, Leon Azor were introduced to the notorious Camden music scene by Buzzcocks legend Steve Diggle. It was from this moment that their aspiration to carve careers as musicians progressed to another level, hanging `out with various influential musicians and characters in and around Camden Town. On this journey they met keyboardist Paul Wolf and soon after drummer, Ryan Smith and formed Somahigh.

Since then, they have evolved with a more ambitious and adventurous sound, touring extensively and releasing original material through an independent record labels. Somahigh have received airplay and support from Kerrang and BBC introducing and are getting rave reviews by local press.

Somahigh have performed many live shows across London and Hampshire, this has launched them onto the festival circuit last year that culminated with a slot at Bestival in September. In May 2015 the band will release brand new material that was recorded at Earth Terminal studios and mastered by Mandy Parnell at Black Saloon studios. To support the release the band are getting back on the road for a European and UK tour along with festival appearances throughout the summer.

Somahigh have shared the stage with various artists, highlights have included Does it offend you, yeah?, Cage The Elephant, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip and 65 Days of Static. They regularly draw in big crowds at venues accross London and in their hometown of Southampton

Somahigh are influenced by far too many things to list here but share a musical resemblance at times to Blur, Bloc Party, Massive Attack and Royal Blood. Sonically they weave intricate guitar and hooky keyboard lines, memorable vocal melodies and dance tinged beats that creates their very own wall of sound.
