Hi-Rock (Thai: ไฮ-ร็อก) were a Thai rock band famous and popular in the 1990s.
The band formed in 1984 by Tui–Anurak Yingnakhon (ตุ้ย: อนุรักษ์ ยิ่งนคร) and Mac–Seree Vihokhean (แม็ก: เสรี วิหคเหิน) and brought together musicians to add more. Later, when the lead vocals has resigned, the band has Pae–Surat Tabwang (เป้: สุรัช ทับวัง) backed up.[1]
Hi-Rock played their first public appearance in midyear 1989 with a back-up band Pathomporn Pathomporn (ปฐมพร ปฐมพร) at Ramkhamhaeng University. Later signed with RS Promotion with the persuasion of the scout Suea–Thanapol Intharit (เสือ: ธนพล อินทฤทธิ์).
Hi-Rock achieved immediate success with the release of their first studio album Khon Pan Rock in 1990, dressed in a colorful costume, eye makeup, inspired by Cinderella and Loudness.[2]
Hi-Rock has released three studio albums in 1991, 1993 and 1996. Before the Surat quit in 1997, the band changed the band's name to HIROCKSHIMA and replaced the new lead vocals. But not as successful as the past.[3][4] [5] [6]
