A Maximum High by Shed Seven
A Maximum High is an album by Shed Seven, released in 1996. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Going For Gold”, on 1 list with a best position of #79.
A Maximum High, Shed Seven's second album, came out on Polydor in April 1996 as the follow-up to Change Giver, with Chris Sheldon at the desk. All four members, Rick Witter, Paul Banks, Tom Gladwin and Alan Leach, share the songwriting credit, and it plays like a band that has found its swagger: chiming, muscular guitars, chest-out choruses and a vocal that sounds ready to take on the whole room.
"Going for Gold" is the one that sticks, a strutting, sunlit singalong that never stops grinning. The album's title is borrowed from a line in "Parallel Lines". Let It Ride came next.
