The High Dials are a Canadian indie rock band from Montreal, originally known as The Datsons, and then The Datson Four.
The band started out playing a brand of pop music strongly influenced by 1960s British mod styles, but their sound evolved to become a form of power pop, more influenced by psychedelic music — starting with their second album A New Devotion. They have toured with fellow Neo-Psychedelia band The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Current band members include: songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Trevor Anderson, guitarist Robbie MacArthur, bassist Chris McAllen, drummer Max Hebert, and keyboardist, backing vocalist Eric Dougherty.
Past band members include: bassist/sitarist Rishi Dhir and drummer Robb Surridge.
In 2007 the band licensed the song "The Holy Ground" to Rogers Wireless for use in television commercials.
