No Sense No Feeling

Description

John Lydon once said that anger is an energy. He was absolutely right. Anger can be inspiring liberating, even. Saying everythings fucked and I hate it is a great way of leaving something behind and starting anew. Youre drawing a line. Youre saving yourself. You are cleansed. From that point, you can do whatever you want. Londons High-Vis play aggressive, frosty post-punk thats as hard as any hardcore record. Like Black Flag, Sleaford Mods and of course Public Image Ltd before them, High-Vis anger is artful, gripping, and energising. Itll trim the fat from your soul. Formed in 2016 from the ashes of some of the UKs best hardcore bands (Dirty Money, Tremors, DiE, The Smear), the band maintain a hardcore energy in their live shows its not uncommon for cheerfully miserable, gold toothed Scouse vocalist Graham Sayle to come away from a gig with a bleeding forehead but theyve taken their aural cues from old UK bands like Gang Of Four, Crisis, Joy Division and Stone Roses. Recently, theyve played with all the other smart bands who have been fucking with the old blueprints Angel Du t, Turnstile, Negative Approach, Higher Power to name a few and like all those bands, their sound is uniquely theirs. On December 4th 2019 High-Vis released their debut album No Sense No Feeling via Venn Records (Gallows, Bob Vylan, Higher Power). This record is a desperate search for meaning while living an uncertain nihilistic existence, says drummer, Ski. The melodies should inspire a touch of hope and the lyrics should be a reminder that hope is a mirage. The songs are stories of broken societies, failed relationships, good Vs evil and violence. Things we have lived, loved and hated in equal measure. One global pandemic later and the London five-piece are about to release their sophomore record via American label Dais (Cold Cave, Spice, Youth Code).
