About the artist
Highly Suspect is an American rock music trio from Cape Cod, Massachusetts who got their start in 2009 as a bar cover band playing songs by Sublime, Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd in local bars in the Cape Cod area, such as the British Beer Company, J.R Brody's Roadside Tavern, and Sundancers. The band was founded by twins Rich and Ryan Meyer and their best friend Johnny Stevens. They attended Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School. After realizing that songwriting was their true passion, they relocated to Brooklyn, where they recorded The Worst Humans EP with producer Joel Hamilton. "Lydia", their first music video from Mister Asylum was premiered on MTV.com on June 25, 2015. Their first full-length album, Mister Asylum, was released on July 17, 2015.
Highly Suspect was selected for iTunes' 2015 New Artist Spotlight by its editors. They have played over 800 live shows since 2009. Their sound has been compared to Queens of the Stone Age, Kings of Leon, Band of Skulls, and Royal Blood.
The band toured the United States in early 2015 with well-known rock bands Deftones, Chevelle, Halestorm, Catfish and the Bottlemen and Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots.
