The band was formed in 1984 by Anoorak "Tui" Yingnakorn and Seree "Max" Vihokhern and brought together musicians to add more.

Hi-Rock played their first public appearance in mid year 1989 with a back-up band for Pathomporn Pathomporn at Ramkhamhaeng University among tens of thousands of attendances.
