Highly Suspect

Highly Suspect is an American rock band with multiple Grammy nominations, known for their genre-blending sound and extensive touring history. After earning nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Song (‘Lydia’) at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, Highly Suspect solidified their position as a dynamic force in rock music. The American rock band, formed in 2009 by founding members Rich Meyer (bass and backing vocals), Ryan Meyer (drums and backing vocals), and Johnny Stevens (guitar and lead vocals), initially honed their craft performing covers by artists like Sublime, Jimi Hendrix, and Pink Floyd in local venues. Their early career saw the release of several EPs, including ‘First Offense’ (2009), ‘The Gang Lion EP’ (2010), ‘The Worst Humans’ (2012), and ‘Black Ocean’ (2013).

In 2011, they released a self-titled compilation album featuring re-recorded tracks from their EPs. Their highly anticipated debut studio album, ‘Mister Asylum,’ was released in 2015 via 300 Entertainment, with the single ‘Lydia’ peaking at number 4 on the US Mainstream Rock Songs chart. Building on this momentum, Highly Suspect released their second studio album, ‘The Boy Who Died Wolf,’ in 2016. This album featured the chart-topping single ‘My Name Is Human,’ which ascended to number 1 on the Billboard US Mainstream Rock Songs chart and subsequently earned the band another Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017.

Their ongoing success and commitment to pushing musical boundaries establish Highly Suspect as a prominent and enduring force in the global music scene.
