The High DialsBiography
The High Dials are a Canadian indie rock band from Montreal.
The band started out playing a brand of pop music strongly influenced by 1960s British mod styles, but their sound evolved to become a form of power pop, more influenced by psychedelic music. They released two albums on Rainbow Quartz Records, A New Devotion (2003) and War of the Wakening Phantoms (2005), before releasing their most recent record, Moon Country (2008) independently. They have toured with fellow Neo-Psychedelia band The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Notably, Rod Argent, keyboardist of The Zombies performed on their song “Picture of a Fading Man” in 2006. In 2007, their song “The Holy Ground” was featured in a Rogers television ad. Professed fans of the High Dials include Steven Van Zandt and Andrew Loog Oldham.
Current band members include songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Trevor Anderson, guitarist Robbie MacArthur, drummer Max Hebert, and keyboardist and backing vocalist Eric Dougherty. Past band members include bassist/sitarist Rishi Dhir and drummer Robb Surridge.
