"an instant triumph. ‘SHE’S HIGH AGAIN‘ is a tower
of a song bringing the first-rate songwriting quality of legendary bands such as the Eagles and The Band to mind. Here’s a solid gold humdinger that combines Canadacana, rock, pop and soul in order to create a universal and appealing sound that you just can not like. This wonderful tune has an ongoing, irresistible groove with a magnetic impact while the poppy and beatific tone of the high-spirited chorus will touch your melancholic side. Top melody, top vocals, top orchestration, top achievement!" - Turn Up The Volume

"Sometimes simply referred to as RFU, this quintet began their “indie rock rise from nothing” back in 2010 and have since established themselves as a premiere independent act in not only Ontario, but also Canada as a whole." - Pure Grain Audio

FTS: Tell us about your new single, “She’s High Again”.

RFU: This is a song that took years to make. It was never really a song until we finished the studio build. It’s the kind of song that needed a world-class facility where the equipment used in the recording would not impede the performances. Everything in that song had to have the word greatness attached to it. Mark McMaster even pinned it to the console as a reference. From the lyrics to the string arrangements it just had to have an electricity that made the listener see and feel the story.

Producing the song was reminiscent of the characters in the song. Like the girl who was chasing the high or the boyfriend who was chasing the high of her. We were chasing this sonic perfection and we weren’t sure we were going to find it. This is one of those rare cases where I’m sure we found it and for me it’s euphoric to listen to it. - From The Strait
