HIGHWAY DEMON is a band based out of Columbia, Missouri, with a shoegazey, cosmic country feeling. I think they have serious talent and creativity.
A local paper called their music, “blue-collar rock with serious bite.”
Mix of indie-rock, surf, and Western sounds.
They just released a new album called Healing Waters — check out if you like these two songs, along with their album from 2021 ;)
I’m just a big fan of this band who wants to show the entire world this beautiful music.

Saw them at Burlington Bar last week and am unable to stop listening to their tunes as a result. The vibes in the room were immaculate, just a good natured, small, loud show. Sometimes you gotta get lost in the wall of sound and the flashing strobes.
I’ve linked to their album “Darklife” (2022). The track “Neon Memories” absolutely slaps. Shoutout to @USERGENERATEDCONTENTfor introducing me to their work and @HURT_MAN for getting lost in the music with me.

I’ve been into this band since 2017 & they inspired me so much back when I was in college. I was also listening to them right around when I was both getting into the concept of “mathy” music and going to my local shows in NJ for the first time.
One of my most memorable shows was driving one of my newer friends to see Peaer on an autumn, Sunday night in a church recreational space, 40 minutes away on a super rainy night. The venue’s parking lot was gravel and next to the church’s graveyard and there was probably 20-25 people total, including the bands.
And it was so worth it, hearing Peaer live finally and seeing their musicianship in person. I have a real love for bands that are trios of drums, bass, guitar & vox, how you can hear everyone individually, but also how just 3 people can create such a wall of sound together. It was so important for me to see them live at that age, and I’m so glad I pushed myself to make the drive down there.
They haven’t come out with music since 2019, an album called A Healthy Earth which I had on repeat religiously. So to have a new single from them with that same guitar tone, funky time changes but new formulas and ideas has been incredibly lovely.
I’m thankful they’re still around and continuing to create 🍐

I love this band‘s discography so far. Can’t wait for the new record to come out!
It’s experimental a lot of the time but it works. Crazy to think this band started in my hometown and then moved to Philly!
