Edit history

HIGH SHINE is the child of song writer Roger Smith who has landed back on Aussie shores after 15 years making noise on the Taiwan music scene. He is joined by Lance, DJ and Polly, who all wish they had more time to do it live and original. With no particular genre and an individual sound, HIGH SHINE exists as an outlet for all the mental and economic stress that pervades our existence. Viva la Revolution!

<strong>High Shine</strong> is the new solo indie pop rock labour of love of Hobart musician Emma Marson (Peak Body, Catsuit). Drawing from such influences as Cat Power, Sharon Van Etton, Taylor Swift, Julia Jacklin, Magic Dirt, Patti Smith, and Cyndi Lauper, High Shine's songs are personal, but muse on common themes including self sabotage, motherhood, relationships, and sexuality. Previously playing notable shows including A Festival called PANAMA and Dark MOFO with her other bands, the artist has also performed backing vocals for several accomplished outfits including Quivers, The Native Cats, and James Parry. Working alongside engineer and co-producer Jordan Marson (Slag Queens, Ragtime Frank, Peak Body), High Shine has a current focus as a recording artist, and is looking to release several more singles in 2020. Latest single Shakedown available via Bandcamp <a href="http://high-shine.bandcamp.com" target="_blank">here</a>.
