[edit] History
The High Court's name is an alternate acronym for THC, the psychoactive substance found in marijuana.[1] The group formed in 2005 from the ashes of several local metal acts. Members Lou Cuello, Kyle Shellhammer, and Danny Carvell placed an ad for a singer on Craigslist, and formed The High Court after John Brown answered the ad.[1] They signed to I Surrender Records and released their debut album, Puppet Strings, in mid-2007.[2][3][4][5][6] The group played the Warped Tour to support the album.[7] Lou Cuello left the group in September 2007. Late in 2007 they toured with 2*Sweet and Fireworks[8] and are currently touring with Bedlight for Blue Eyes and Asteria.
