Let's mix somethings together in a good way; sweet vocal melodies and raucous howls, hooky pop guitars and twangy garage slides~Come enjoy!

Haters Club released their first single "Day After Halloween" in 2011, followed by The Golden Age of Haters Club EP in 2012. After playing a handful of shows, including opening for Caveman (NYC), and getting some local radio attention, they went on hiatus. After spending much of the last 10 years playing in different projects (Wizards Are Real, Bourbon County, Street Hassle), D.J. Kukielka and Ted Held bring the band back with new members, the same genre-defying songwriting, and songs from their new EP: RIYH. Don't let the name fool you, this band revels in sweet harmonies and clever guitar playing, and connects with audiences wherever they play.

High on Stress carry on in the grand tradition of Minneapolis music -great rock 'n' roll with a rootsy slant; cheeky at times, consistently well written and played." PETER JESPERSON / NEW WEST RECORDS

"​These local rocky-tonk heroes-to-be are equally at home spewing ‘Mats-ian vinegar, howlin’ out Haggard-isms or riffin’ off Rolling Stones-y lyrical lashings." ​TOM HALLETT / ROUND THE DIAL

“High on Stress comes by their 'Mats-loving cred a little more naturally, being from Minneapolis themselves. They differ a bit from Teenage Rasputin in that they have of a more Americana-influenced sound, perhaps a little more Hootenanny than Pleased to Meet Me. ​they're building up quite an impressive body of work." ABSOLUTE POWERPOP.

“Just hearing the lads in High On Stress sends me on a nostalgia bruise cruise of wasting away endless Moorhead winter nights in the relative comfort of the vinyl booths in holes like Ralph’s and Kirby’s, listening to The Gear Daddies on the juke. The foursome, who also serve as Slim Dunlop’s hired guns, recently released their junior (is that right?) effort, Living Is A Dying Art. Nothing too fancy here, kiddos. Just come-as-you-are Americana and songs as sturdy as Grandpa’s back, before that goddamned factory job done him in. Highly recommended.” MY OLD KENTUCKY BLOG
