Hail Your Highness

When asked to describe their band in one sentence, vocalist and guitarist Jessie Bobenmoyer said this, "Hail Your Highness is a band striving to mesh eclectic styles and genres to create a unique sound with strong emotional vibes."

"It's never been easy for me to give someone a direct answer as to what Hail Your Highness sounds like, so when that sentence popped into my head, I coined it," says Jessie.

What would end up resulting as Hail Your Highness started 10 years ago in the garage of sister's Jessie and Niki Bobenmoyer. Through numerous member changes and plenty of ups and downs the Bobenmoyer sisters have ended up right back to the way they started playing music, just the 2 of them. Some might see this as yet another set back, but it has only been the opposite and a new launching pad for the duo. With the encouragement of their family and the guidance of their producer, Joe Stockton, Hail Your Highness is now presenting themselves as this "force to be reckoned with" 2 piece band with 2 lead vocalists and something to prove.

"The more I thought about it, the more I thought just the 2 of them is all they need," says Stockton, "It takes more than just sounding unique now. You have to present your music in a new way. And I know the 2 piece thing has been done (White Stripes, Black Keys, Middle Class Rut) but I've never seen it with a heavy sound, not to mention two sisters whose voices compliment each other so well. In my eyes their voices ARE their band and ARE their sound. Niki has the "flare" if you will, and Jessie has the raw aggression. It fits like a puzzle. Everything else just supports that."

With this new mindset in full swing Hail Your Highness has been reborn. "We want everything to be us, created by me and Niki," says Jessie. "Thankfully I play both guitar and bass so I can track everything musically when it comes to studio time and Niki can bang out drum tracks like nobody's business these days. So when we finally came to the realization that we really could do this on our own, it was very empowering." Not to say that this band doesn't have a lot of work ahead of them would be an understatement, but they've been putting it in for the past 10 years and if they keep growing day by day and year by year as they have been, with the right guidance and direction Hail Your Highness could really shake up the music scene.

In Spring of 2014, Hail Your Highness set out to record a new EP to capture an aggressive and melodic sound all their own. Completely crowd funded by a fan base they've developed meaningful relationships with over the years, in June they traveled to Louisville, KY to Butchertown Pub Studios and created "Albion," their 6th EP. It became their hope for a future.
