Minneapolis alternative country rockers High on Stress never made it. They called quits in 2014 when they had just released Leaving MPLS. For reasons unknown the general public and failed to recognize the top shelf lyrics of singer Nick Leet, whose words can run rings around acts like the Drive-By Truckers and the Jayhawks.
Three years after their demise the self-deprecatingly titled Greatest Hits sees the light of day. As per usual with this kind of releases they included one previously unreleased track, Klonopin and Alcohol, a snarling and energetic rocker that would have the first pick for a single for countless other bands.
High on Stress:
Nick Leet: vocals, guitar
Mark Devaraj: drums
Jim Soule: bass guitar, backing vocals
Chad Wheeling: guitar, organ
