High Vis

In case you've missed it, High Vis exploded onto the DIY scene, earning a devoted following for their intense live shows and

immediate lyrics that tackle themes from class politics to the challenges of everyday life. Their exceptional second full-

length album, Blending released in the Fall of last year, landed on countless end of year lists and garnered overwhelming

high acclaim worldwide from the likes of Stereogum, The Fader, NME, The Guardian, NPR, BBC 6Music, Revolver, Kerrang!,

Matt Wilkinson on Apple Music 1 and more.

High Vis’s signature sound of aggressive, artful punk is as tough as any hardcore record, yet sonically opens beyond the

parameters of any genre or scene. As the title of Blending suggests, is about bringing all these new strands and elements

into what the band are about at their core to forge something entirely new.

While Blending shows High Vis’s sound blossoming even further from their exemplary 2019 debut No Sense No Feeling, the

album represents another leap forward lyrically, too. Talking frankly about poverty and class politics, frontman Graham

Sayle’s lyrics have always addressed the downtrodden and discarded communities across Britain slipping below the

waterline. This time around, Sayle’s lost none of that social consciousness, but he’s looked at himself and his own

emotional landscape, and in the process created something that feels more universal, that reaches a hand-out to people

and ultimately gives a message of hope.
