The High Society are a glam rock group from Birmingham, England, formed in 2006 by Matt "Maxi" Browne and Martyn "The Nelsta" Nelson following the breakup of their previous band King Adora.
Following the breakup of their previous band, King Adora, Matt Browne and Martyn "The Nelsta" Nelson formed the band initially known as The Bombshell AC's, with a sound similar to their previous group except edging more to the glam metal sound of the 80's, in early 2006 eventually changing their name to The High Society playing their first live show soon after.
The group would play shows sporadically over the years while also hinting at the possibility of relocating the band to London.
