If that opening riff with it’s retro touch of funk doesn’t get you hooked – the longer you listen for; something, if not everything, undoubtedly will.

Legendary UK DJ/Producer Jason Kaye presents a new signing to his label Social Circles – introducing Andy Taylor, with his brand new track High Maintenance.
You can easily relate to these words & very quickly remember the melody lines. It’s a pleasure that could only be topped by witnessing the songs live.
The heart & soul of grunge & punk rock is present; holding on to that passion, revisiting inspiring sounds, reigniting the indie rock flame.
There are moments of grunge-like funk in this song that are as bizarre as they are attractive. The music is new, exciting, and completely free of barriers.
The structure has a mind of it’s own, the songwriter has exercised their right to create freely & independently; the result is something quite mesmerizing.
Perhaps the biggest sound of the project, in terms of the instrumental involvement; the complex network of sounds and melodies.
There’s an anthemic & almost tribal sound to the vocals, which at times makes it feel like you’re witnessing some cultural initiation from a far away land.
The word play, the passion, the depth, the honesty, the musical atmosphere. It’s a voice you fall captive to; thought provoking and real.
The alternative sound has been captured very skillfully; at first making you notice it, and later making you glad that you did.
Sometimes you find a moment that’s even happier than happy; you simply want to live there for a while, in that moment, in that lovely little bubble.
You’ll walk away from this album with a great respect for the honesty, and an even greater appreciation for the awe inspiring sound of the music.
