Ok, so I know it's not Christmas, but it's new & I'm excited to hear the rest of the EP.
High Flight Society is based in Atlanta, GA. They formed in 2001 - 2 brothers Michael & John Packer (guitar & bass, respectively), John Wilkes, & Scotty Lockridge (vocals & drums, respectively), but didn't have their first release until their "From Far Above Somewhere EP"[Selectric Records] in 2006. In the next year, however, they released their self-titled full-length with RKT Music (a short-lived imprint of Rocketown Records), produced by Tony Palacios (from the 90's hard rock band Guardian - who, as a side note, just recently released a new EP with plans for a new 2012 release).
In 2008, they introduced another member to the band - guitarist Jerad Griffin; & in spring of the following year, they were signed with Word/Warner Brothers. However, as it would happen, their was a change in the label's employment, & HFS was dropped. They still released their new EP "Par Avion " in 2009, but as an independent band. Further disappointments arose, & Jerad Griffin parted ways to work on his own project, Rilian. But, after "an amazing show"*, they stuck together, & they are now releasing their brand new EP "Lights Come Down" on Dec. 20th, 2011. This song is from "Lights Come Down".
