The gritty, groove-heavy rock of The High Level was forged in the old steel town of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania. Mark Bodrog, Tom Persson, and Robb Turnbull had been friends for many years, each working on different projects which occasionally overlapped. During a killer jam session in the Outer Banks of NC, Mark and Robb created the first iteration of The High Level's earliest songs. Deciding too much time had passed since either had worked on a music endeavor, the two called on Tom to complete the group. Though the style ranges from hard-edged rock to mellower jazzy funk and everything in between, the motive always remains the same: have fun and rock on!
