Higher Love

"With Higher Love I think I have managed to find the most original style of music to date"
(Big In The Game)



"Quite surreal-clearly original-melodically interesting"
(Brian Clifford-gig review@'Native Tongue')



"atmosphere of tension with jangly, nervy guitars and a fractious rhythm section"
(RoomThirteen)



"Higher Love uses the ultimate goth formula – dramatic, gloomy, spooky, at times theatrical (there's even a twist at the end of the set), definitely very Cure-ish, very slowed down Bauhaus." (UK Events)
"Never judge a book by its cover. So it's no surprise that Higher Love, a less than sounding "cool" band, are technically gifted and great song writers. " (SurfaceUnsigned)
"a very very dark version of Joy Division…Or an obscurantist Depeche Mode or maybe even the sonic realization of Bono's suicide attempt!… lyrics concerning The Apocalypse, and bloody hell, it actually sounds like it! Cool!!…" (Bugbear Bookings)



The name of the band has been taken from Depeche Mode's song.



The most important features in the band are the strong rhythm section, melodically or harmonically layered guitar/ keyboard and even bass parts and powerful vocals in our songs.
Higher Love plays POP and is not ashamed of that category.
But this is a pop with some DARK shades and with hard PUNK or even METAL energy.Final mix of all the band's inspirations can be categorized as a COLD ROCK.
Influences are mostly-80's new wave post-rock and bands like The Doors,U2,Depeche Mode,Queen and The Cure.
