HIGHWAY is an old school hard-rock band whose
musical influences come from such legends as AC/DC, Deep Purple,
Whitesnake, ZZ Top, Guns and Roses or Aerosmith.
The band comes from Sète, in south
of France, and was created by two brothers Ben and Romain Chambert
(respectively guitar and drums). JM Gantard (bass) and Benjamin Folch
(vocals) joined the crew the same year. They started touring the local
clubs with repeats of classics of Rock’n’Roll.
Concerts were starting to attract more people
and the first fans made their appearance.
In 2002, for their second
participation at the Duels Rock, in the famous club of
Montpellier “The Rockstore”, Highway takes the first place with
a clear show in front of a amazing crowd. The prize for winning
this competition is the production of their first album called:
“Have a Beer!”
The band began to feel more confident on stage and the
writing and compositions move to a higher level. The
work led to the release of the second album “Goodbye
Money” in 2005 in Ole Duke Hill (Eyeless, Mudweiser) n’
Matt E. West‘s “Trendkill Studios”.
“Goodbye Money”
allowed the distribution of the two albums by “Brennus
Music” (www.brennus-music.com) and “Les Indiz” (www.indiz.fr)
In 2009, HIGHWAY have
participated and won Rock challenge organized by the pub “New
Capricorn “in Sète. The first prize was to give a series of
shows in London.
Today, the band always hope finding a biggest deal, is
preparing the recording of a third album in 2011 (surely the
best one!!) and a new series of gigs across France n’ Europe
with their new bass player Sam Marshal, a pure rock n’ roller!
So prepare yourself to a big dose of rock n’ roll, and
amazing live performance guaranteed!!
Enjoy n’ have a beer!
