Gallows High

Female Fronted Rock in the Midlands

Gallows High are a five piece female fronted rock band. They regularly gig in Leicester and have been travelling further afield in 2018. Fans have spotted them performing in Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Sheffield and more.

Their first EP was recorded January 2017, shortly after they became quarter finalists in Metal to the Masses 2017 in Leicester UK.

"Gallows High give you assured and accomplished playing, with vocals that make the singing seem effortless, even the dramatically high notes that are reached.
Having listened to the EP several times I think they are certainly a band to watch out for and I really do hope they get to tour and let more of the country hear their sound.
I think that hearing them play would put a massive smile on your face and although your ears may ring for days after it will have been worth it."

Gallows High returned to Metal to the Masses in 2018, this time making it all the way to the semi finals. They are writing and performing new material at their current gigs and working on their second EP.

History of Gallows High

Gallows High first formed in 2015 – with no name and just a bass and guitar. Jake and Josh had been at school together and were reunited on a night out in Leicester. This added drums to the trio.

After a while, another drinking session introduced Matt to the band, whilst vocalist Emma was tapped online in 2016. Finally, after a run of unsuccessful bass relationships, Mike was discovered, drunk in Duffy’s – perfect material for the Gallows High crew.


Where did the name come from?

One hazy night in mid 2015, Josh had a late night on the Devils Lettuce. He watched an old film from 1947 called Out of the Past/Build My Gallows High. The next day was band practice, and the name was shortened to Gallows High.
