Background notes
Archive material and source history
The High Strung formed in Boston with childhood friends Josh Malerman, Steve Riley, and Derek McGowan. Their lineup later included bassist Kevin Rheault and drummer Ryan DeMars. They released their debut album "These Are Good People," followed by records like "Moxie Bravo" and "Rising Sun."
Their song "The Luck You Got" became a notable track for the band. Another song, "Standing At The Door Of Self Discovery," appears in their catalog. In 2010, they dealt with a legal dispute over music rights.
Josh Malerman, the band's frontman, published a novel in 2016 that drew mixed reactions for its treatment of violence and addiction themes. The High Strung's music often pulls from pop, rock, and folk elements.
