HIGH BIAS
are a Manchester based band consisting of Phil Popplewell on lead
vocals and guitars, Mike Richard on drums and percussion, and
Richard Mayers on bass and backing vocals. The line-up has stayed
solid since its formation back in 1989.
The songs are diverse and range from the heavy
bassline and guitar grind of "Is It", to the more
melodic ballad style of "Shower". The band
have an impressive catalogue of tunes which have been finely
honed over the years. A tight three-piece with astute lyrics - a
breath of fresh air for the new millenium !
