Pop culture blog The Nerdist called their debut single, "Tantalized", "ideal dance music for the summer."

Nordeen describes the band's formation came about when they "discovered we shared an affinity for pop songs, harmony vocals, chimey guitars, analog synth sounds, and spicy margaritas.” The idea for the group started when Nordeen was recording vocals for demos Schlesinger was writing - "One day, he asked me to sing on a song he was working on called “Thats So Typical.” That’s when we decided to start collaborating and writing and turn it into Fever High when we found Reni!" On influences, she cites, "Bananarama was a big inspiration to start with because we wanted to encapsulate that girl on girl free spirit. My mix might be Scritti Politti, Blondie and Book of Love."

Personnel

Reni Lane plays numerous instruments, including piano, guitar, bass, trumpet and trombone. Lane released a solo album on Universal Motown and has since collaborated and/or toured with The Like, Joseph Arthur, Dave Stewart, Linda Perry and Howie Day.

Anna Nordeen is a singer, guitarist and songwriter. Nordeen has released a solo EP, "You Know Where I Am", along with acting in various independent films.
