The High Curbs "Empty Bottles" | Volcom Cyber Singles Club

BURGER RECORDS X VOLCOM PRESENT CYBER SINGLES CLUB: THE HIGH CURBS – EMPTY BOTTLES

Having arrived from the Inland Empire like a wild fire, The High Curbs have been busier than ever. But how did it all start?

Before they ever worked with Burger Records (Burger released The High Curbs second full length, Marcelo Cleveland on cassette in July 2016), the band were already fans… initially connected through the internet. “Literally, if you have Soundcloud, then you know Burger Records” explained singer Eduardo Moreno, “that’s really it.”

Meeting Sean and Lee and the Burger Records crew in person didn’t take much more effort either. “We just went in the store and annoyed the shit out of them… we would just walk in and ask them if they have any shows you could throw us on?”. It’s much harder to ignore someone in real life as opposed to pestering them on social media… “That [social media] doesn’t work” the band all agreed.

“WE JUST WENT IN THE STORE AND ANNOYED THE SHIT OUT OF THEM”

It also helps to make friends with other bands on Burger. “Be friends with a band that’s on Burger and tell them to record you”, said Eduardo. “That’s what we did,” added drummer Aaron Korbe.

The band recorded their debut self-titled EP with Facundo Bermudez, better known as Cundo, who sent Sean the recordings that first put The High Curbs on Burger’s radar. But admittedly “things got lost in the shuffle for a year or two” remembered Sean and The High Curbs would go on to self release that EP as well as their follow up full length, Weight Problems.

But The High Curbs persistence would pay off. They recorded their second full-length with Audacity’s (one of the original bands on Burger Records) Matt Schmalfeld, who then sent the recordings to Sean who thought “they ruled” and “that’s when The High Curbs became part of the Burger Fam!” he exclaimed.

Part of the NOW SOUND of Burger Records today, The High Curbs hit the Volcom Studio to record a brand new song for the Cyber Singles Club. Entitled “Empty Bottles”, the song’s about being on tour and is a full blast of garage-punk rock and roll that shows why the band are ready to hit the road every chance they get. As an added bonus, The High Curbs, also made a music video for the song.
