| YOUR
HIGHNESS - latest update 27th JANUARY 2003 |
YOUR HIGHNESS..........various people have
been talking about a Pixies style mix of girl fronted contradictions and
heavy riffs - that'll do us. The visceral gnashing of PJ Harvey, the icy
vibrato of Siouxsie, a chiming Cocteaus twinkle or two, some brutal Pixies
riffing.. There's all the stylised savagery and cool attitude that Elastica,
for all the hype, never managed to deliver..." |
| BAND BIOG |
| YOUR
HIGHNESS are Jean, Robin, Bronwen and Sean – Queen Jean is the demanding
one, Robin is the guitarist (who keeps getting calls from people like Tricky
and So Solid Crew asking him to go work with them, I’m not suppose to tell
you that though so forget I mentioned it….) , Sean plays drums. Your Highness
are from London, they write songs to die for, they write lots of songs
to die for, they never stop sending me songs to die for, they do my head
in with the songs they keep delivering – there are so many good songs that
half of them will probably never be heard. whilst some bands keep
having to re-issue the same song again and again and again and play the
same set for three years. If I have my way then we’ll release a Your Highness
album every two months – we might just do that………. hang on, that’s the
door bell, probably the band with another CD full of songs recorded live
in their own garage studio
Where are
they today? Probably writting new songs and demanding something or other
from someone - Watch this space, there's another six singles ready to go
if they want it enough |

QUOTES AND SUCH |
"Let’s
get one thing straight, in my opinion (and it’s only my opinion) girls
cannot cut it fronting rock bands. If they’re not in an all-girl group
(which is acceptable - think of Sleater-Kinney and The Go-Go’s) then they
generally split into two camps: the Pat Benatar school of faux-tuff duff,
or the drippy tosh of Lita Ford and Heart. There are honourable exceptions:
step forward Polly Harvey and Courtney Love (who’s nearly a man anyway),
and now Jean Hare, who fronts London trio Your Highness. Is it time for
me to backtrack on my opinions now? Not at all, the secret to Jean’s success
is that she possesses a strident edge reminiscent of the aforementioned
Ms Harvey, with balls that Courtney would be proud of. Set against a wall
of angular guitar that sounds like a hail of razor blades dropping into
a rusty sink and a drummer who sounds like he’s racing with the Devil himself,
the only way they’d be any better was if
they’d
grown up in a squat with Bikini Kill and Smashing Pumpkins. This rocks."
