HighMay was conceived in early 2010. The band deems their own music "Eclectic Rock". They released a brand new full-length album: "The Upside" in January 2012. This album was co-produced with Grammy Award Winner John Seymour (Alice in Chains, Dave Matthews Band, Santana) and multi-platinum producer Al Sutton (Kid Rock), among other accomplished Detroit area producers.

If you like profound, yet universal lyrics, and songs you can dance or rock out to, or go for a run or a long drive, or relaxand unwind, all on the same record, then this is the band for you.

"It's clear that while HighMay is heavily influenced by indie and folk sounding musicians and that they've adopted a somewhat similar sound, something sets them apart: they're pretty upbeat...
"The Upside" isn't an album to help you through a breakup like a lot of indie albums, nor is it trying to be particularly deep like a lot of folk albums try to be... It's not all whit and rhymes... [it's] a feel-good album."
