Guided Tour - Vinyle Violet Transparent

Description

Since forming in 2016, London's High Vis have steadily honed their progressive hardcore palette with shades of post-punk, Brit-pop, neo-psychedelia and even Madchester groove, carving a middle path between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. The band's deep roots in the UK and Irish DIY hardcore scenes has kept them grounded while growing, inspired by both agitation and righteous anger. Guided Tour sounds like a band reaching new heights, bursting with energy. Recorded over a few weeks in London with producer Jonah Falco and engineer Stanley Gravett (who also helmed the sessions for High Vis' previous album, Blending, 2022), the result is dynamic and well-worn, like anthems carved into memory through sweat and repetition. The album's 11 songs cover the spectrum of contemporary guitar music. From street punk to indie sneer to heavy alt and shoegazey spoken word, the band's alchemy transmits any style at their unique intensity. Pressed on blue vinyl.
