With ON FIRE, the Higher's 2007 debut for the Epitaph label, the Las Vegas-based band adds elements of pop and even contemporary R&B to its earlier emo sound. While some fans might be perplexed, the change suits the group well, allowing it to stand out from the overflowing punk-pop/emo crowd, particularly on "Weapons Wired," a catchy tune that oddly recalls Top 40 mainstay Rob Thomas, and "Insurance?"--a smooth, dance-oriented track.

Professional Reviews

Spin (p.94) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The punchy odes to underage misbehavior on the Higher's follow-up to their 2005 debut give thick guitar chug and nasal voices a sleek R&B sheen."

Alternative Press (p.190) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[A]coustic guitars and handclaps drive 'Histrionics,' and a Patrick Stump remix of 'Pace Yourself' is a full-on techno headtrip."
