Haute Tension
"Haute Tension. It means "High Voltage." With tensions running high all over the world, waves of the Atlantic lap on the beaches of Florida. There is a sound coming from Miami. A sound that has been shaped by a subtropical climate and political unrest. A sound that brings with it the unrelenting heat of the summer, but also a cool, calm, collectedness about it as we all watch the city go under.

Haute Tension is a band that believes in bringing back raw visceral energy into live music, all the while paying homage to their swampy tropical landscape of Florida. Their sophisticated sound resonates with a wide range of audiences who can expect to hear surf-y Dick Dale style guitar, and a dynamic influence of genres from garage to punk, classic rock, and blues.
