Human Highway is a Canadian indie rock band from Toronto, Ontario. It is composed of singer-songwriter Jim Guthrie and Nicholas Thorburn of the band Islands. [1] Their style is influenced by 1960s and 1970s AM radio pop music. [2] [3]
The band started in the early 2000s; [4] the pair had previously worked together in the band Islands, and Thorburn asked Guthrie for help with a song called "My Beach". [5] The band's name is a reference to the Neil Young song "Human Highway". [6] [4]
The duo's debut album, Moody Motorcycle , [7] was released in August 2008 on Secret City Records in Canada and Suicide Squeeze Records in the United States. [8] Islands members Evan Gordon, Geordie Gordon, and Aaron Harris were recruited to fill out the band. Reviews of the album were fairly positive. [9] [8] [1]
Up to that time Human Highway was strictly a recording project; the band began playing live support of the album, performing in New York [10] as well as four live shows in Ontario and Quebec [11] and took part in Canada Music Week in March. [12] They released a video to accompany their song "The Sound" before going on tour. [13]
