Hi-Rollers is a running musical duel between two friends. We've been playing since early 2004. Hi-Rollers have been compared to Hella, Lightning Bolt, Don Caballero. Co-incidentally, those are actually bands we like. We are: Jeremy Fountain – drums (ex-Cinemechanica); Clay Davidson – guitar (ex-Leela Fiasco) Hi-Rollers upholds a purist approach to writing and performing. We do not use effects to enhance our performance. No delay pedal, no loop pedal, just gain. We are currently finishing material for our first full-length album “Tear It Up!” and playing shows around the Southeast. “In the community of rock 'n' roll, one will encounter a lot of self-professed, so-called ‘rockers.’ And once in a blue moon, if lucky, someone willing to roll will break onto the scene. That rare occasion is found in Greensboro's two-piece indie band the Hi-Rollers. …With the 2006 release of the Hi-Rollers' debut EP, ‘hear B monsters,’ the band members celebrated fast chaos with a playful approach to thoughtful and odd theories. Songs such as ‘Swashbuckler's Favorite Slowjams’ and ‘T. Rex Surfs the Web’ mimic the intricacies of movement and explore mood and response to one's environment.” - Jennie Thompson, Go Triad
