Higher Control
"The band Higher Control is a humble yet stimulating cocktail of a group. Lead vocals and rhythm guitar are done by James Lawton (humbly renamed Jimbo), drums are mastered by Joss Barnes, and lead guitar is donned by Nicko Franklin. The band are good friends who are lucky enough to have found an enthusiastic musical nature in one another.Lyrics and Music are written by Jimbo, but each member contributes their own individuality to the songs. The lyrics and melodies that are conceived by this band are either pleasantly simple or stimulatingly complex. With a wide range of influences, moving from the Beatles to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to Oasis, the promising young band are full of charm, character and originality. With these atributes, Higher Control are able to lull anyone into loving their music by sharing pensive lyrics, memorable tunes, and on the whole good Rock music."
Over the last year Higher Control have had considerable experience of performing live, playing at many London venues such as Viva Viva, The Bull & Gate and Mass. On a larger and more professional scale Higher Control have performed at the Belladrum Tartan Hearts Festival in Inverness.
