Album Review

On the High Court's debut LP, Puppet Strings, the young New Jersey group puts together a capable album of emo that doesn't add too much to the conversation regarding said genre circa 2007. Even though they're from New Jersey, they don't take too much from the pages of fellow Garden Staters Saves the Day (whose 2001 hit "At Your Funeral" is essential emocore listening) or Thursday (now godfathers of the form); rather, the High Court look to the multi-platinum formula of Chicagoans (and more recent genre leviathans) Fall Out Boy for direction. "2 Much Love for 1 Woman" apes Fall Out Boy in a big way, with cresting, metal-lite guitars and the all-peaks-no-valleys, crest-to-crest vocal keening of John Brown, a dead ringer for FOB's Patrick Stump on this track. "Payback" and "Puppet Strings" are a bit more interesting, keeping to the same template but with some progressive, almost Incubus-like tendencies creeping in. But in truth, there is nothing new under the sun here, and certainly nothing downright compelling. For fans of this brand of music, though, the High Court have much to offer. They are more straight-ahead rock in intent and devoid of the theatrics that mark peers Panic! at the Disco, and simply better and more seriously rocking in intent than more pop-oriented emo groups on the same tier such as the Academy Is....

Not bad
     
by Radical Man

Suprisingly good CD since I saw them Live in Troy, NY and couldn't hear a word they were singing, then afterwards the lead singer came up and basically begged me to buy his CD. So aftter sitting in my car for two years still wrapped I decided to pop the CD in, you know give them a chance before throwing their CD out my window. Well, well well, it isn't half bad! It's not great btu they got something. They REALLY need to work on they're live show and get some more variety in their songs but a very solid effort

Great CD
     
by kimmycatastrophe

The High Court was one of those bands that just blow your mind with great music & lyrics. They're shows were energetic, but sadly, the guys called it off & probably won't ever be getting back. <3

OMGSH! <3

Biography

Formed: 2005 in Mount Holly, NJ

Genre: Adult Alternative

Years Active: '00s

The band name the High Court doesn't imply that the members of this New Jersey punk-pop quintet are fans of the judicial system so much as with its invocation of the word "high" and the handy acronym THC — in other words, that they're fans of weed. This is no idle speculation: their official press...
