The London-based hardcore band High Vis is set to release their third album, 'Guided Tour', which builds on their journey from underground favorites to prominent figures in the music scene. Frontman Graham Sayle reflects on the transition from part-time musician to full-time artist, expressing both excitement and apprehension about relying solely on music for income.
In mid-September, High Vis hosted a free, genre-spanning gig called Society Exists in East London, showcasing their commitment to community and accessibility in music. The band's performance featured tracks from their upcoming album, including the emotionally charged 'Mob DLA' and the anthemic 'Talk For Hours', which resonated deeply with fans.
'Guided Tour' promises a blend of aggression and accessibility, with tracks like 'Feeling Bliss' and 'Mind's A Lie' highlighting the band's experimental edge. As they prepare for the album's release, High Vis aims to maintain their roots in hardcore while appealing to a broader audience. The album is anticipated to further solidify their status in the UK hardcore scene, which has seen a resurgence with new talent emerging.
Sayle's reflections on the band's growth reveal a deep connection to their community and the genre. As High Vis navigates their evolving identity, they remain committed to the hardcore scene that has shaped their music and values.
