THE HIGH PRESS STORY
High Press (Tampa, FL) has their hearts and talents set on becoming the ultimate third-wave pop-punk/emo band we all need.
Founded in 2024 after a particularly heartbreaking Chelsea F.C. loss, High Press offers a fresh sound for anyone longing for the angst of their favorite emo music, but with lyrics that press into the existential dread of being in your thirties under the unreasonable pressures of society. Their catchy hooks, relatable lyrics, and wild stage antics will make you want to dance, cry, laugh, and maybe throw an elbow or two all at once.
Members Vagner Lage (vox/guitar), Billy Luckett (guitar), Tyler Balkcom (bass), RJ Taylor (guitar/vox), and RJ Kerker (drums) combine for over 20 years of live music to deliver an unforgettable experience every time they hit the stage.
