Heights

In late 2007 Al Heslop (guitarist and composer) called upon friends Jamie Postones and John Hopkin to expand upon his song ideas, originally with a vocalist in mind. After a few vocalist auditions, the band realised it was going to be a tall order finding the right person, but more importantly sonic space in the already vast sounding arrangements, so Heights officially settled on the instrumental path. In the new freedom that instrumental music offered, Heights found their identity; taking influences from Classical, Rock, Jazz, Fusion and Progressive bands, but with a view to create something honest and unique, an emphasis on progression and themes rather than traditional songwriting formulas. Since 2008 Heights have recorded three albums and a couple of EPs.
