"This solid rock release has my vote for one of the best CD’s of 2007. This CD is great for all ages and will get anybody to keep listening. The great blend of rock music and lyrics is just amazing. Don’t hesitate on getting this one. "

"Big Guitars + Sweet Vox + Excellent Writing = High Flight Society, one of the Hottest Sleeper acts of the year. If the Album is near as good as the EP, get ready for a Phenomenal Record!"
- Cale Nelson - ZRevolution Radio
"High Flight Society makes punk inspired music takin to the likes of Jawbreaker or Samiam...the kind of music that transcends genre to inspire and uplift. One of my favorites for sure!"
- Aaron Hickman - Project 96.1
"Don't let their good ole boy persona fool you, HFS are serious about ministry and serious about blowing you away with great hooks and a spastic stage show. I can't find a bad song on their stellar debut!"
- Bill Moore - The Sound of Light Radio

Bio
After releasing their national, self-titled debut under Nashville's RKT records in June 2007 and touring the country from Georgia to California to support the album, the four guys in High Flight Society (Jason Wilkes, brothers Michael and John Packer and Scotty Lockridge) had accomplished just about everything a young band could hope to. Radio success with songs like "Sweet Redeemer" and "Time is Running Out," playing shows in front of crowds of thousands and being named one of the top 100 releases of 2007 by itunes were crowning achievements. The road to success, however, is never an easy one. RKT shut its doors shortly after releasing the album, partially extinguishing the flame of what was a promising career.
The touring and the writing of new music, however, didn't stop and a new day brings new opportunities.
Flash forward to the end of 2008 and the flame is beginning to burn bright again. Fueled by the best music of their career thus far, which is about to be recorded and released, and new member Jerad Griffin (formerly of Anberlin, on guitar/background vocal duties), who has added a fresh dynamic to their sound and already tight live show, morale is high among the HFS team and their many fans all over the world alike. The road to success may not be easy but for HFS now, the path there has never been more clearly lit or eaiser to see.
