(October 16, 2024) - Ahead of the release of their anticipated new album Guided Tour, out this Friday via Dais RecordsLondon’s High Vis shares the final offering with the title track. “Guided Tour” kicks off the journey weaved on the ambitious and exploratory new album, which ranges from hardcore to post punk to garage to Madchester baggy. Along with “Guided Tour,” the forthcoming full length will include the previously released singles “Drop Me Out,” “Mob DLA,” and “Mind’s a Lie,” the last of which features samples of vocals from celebrated South London singer and DJ Ell Murphy and arrived with a stunning video written and directed by Martina Pastori. Guided Tour is available for vinyl pre-order now in various exclusive colorways via Dais Records, Rough Trade and the band’s website. Pre-order the vinyl HEREGuided Tour will also be available on cassette via Flatspot Records, which is available for pre-order HERE


High Vis is currently on the CORPUS GROWS tour across North America as direct support to Show Me The Body, alongside additional support from BIB, Special Interest, ZelooperZ, Bearcat, and Black Noi$e on select dates. Ahead of the CORPUS GROWS tour, High Vis and Show Me The Body shared their collaborative track “Stomach.” Following the North American run, High Vis will traverse Europe for their headline tour slated for this November and December with support from Pain of Truth ahead of their forthcoming UK shows in February 2025 with support from Narrow Head. Tickets can be found HERE and full tour routing is below. 


On Guided Tour, High Vis sounds like a band reaching for new heights, bristling with energy. Recorded across a few weeks at Holy Mountain Studios in London with producer Jonah Falco and engineer Stanley Gravett (who also helmed the sessions for High Vis’ Blending), the results feel dynamic and dialed-in, like anthems burned into sense memory through sweat and repetition. The album’s 11 songs span the spectrum of contemporary guitar music, sharpened by experience, camaraderie, and societal frustrations. From swaggering street punk to jangling indie sneer to heavy alt to shoegazey spoken word, the group’s chemistry transmutes any style to their unique intensity. 


Since 2018, High Vis has polished their progressive hardcore sound with shades of post-punk, Brit pop, neo-psychedelia, and even Madchester groove, mapping a middle ground between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. In 2019, High Vis released their debut album No Sense No Feeling, which broadened the scope of the hardcore veterans beyond scene while creating self-described “post-industrial-Britain misery punk.” The celebrated follow up, 2022’s Blending includes the tracks “Talk For Hours” and “Trauma Bonds” and not only expands upon the sonic breadth of High Vis, but vocalist Sayle opened his chest cavity through his lyrics discussing social issues and political miseries while reaching a hand out to folks listening to give a message of hope.
