Since first forming in 2016, London, England's High Vis has steadily polished their palette of progressive hardcore 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. From its opening seconds of a cab door slamming, a car revving away, and a baggy rhythm swinging to life, "Guided Tour" sounds like a band reaching for new heights, bristling with energy. The album's 11 songs span the spectrum of contemporary guitar music, sharpened by experience, camaraderie, and societal frustrations.
