High Vis have never followed the rules. Our 2022 Band To Watch have a knack for keeping rock engaging, and today the UK band is proving their unpredictability with the announcement of their new album, Guided Tour, and the release of their single “Mind’s A Lie,” which imbues their post-hardcore sound with elements of house music.

“I wanted to look at how quickly negative habits can take control when you lack a positive or constructive outlet for your energy,” leader Graham Sayle explained about the song. “While the language of mental health provision has found fertile ground in the churn of social media, access to essential services has been decimated by the indifference of successive Tory governments. Further division has been stoked through governmental rhetoric and media scapegoating. Without adequate support in times of crisis, life can quickly spiral into an angry and isolated existence.”

“Mind’s A Lie” samples vocals from South London singer and DJ Ell Murphy. Guided Tour was recorded at Holy Mountain Studios in London with producer Jonah Falco and engineer Stanley Gravett, and it has last month’s “Mob DLA.” It follows 2022’s Blending.

Below, hear “Mind’s A Lie” and see their shitload of upcoming tour dates.
