London-based band High Vis has its roots in the UK hardcore scene, but evolved into a less-shout-y post-punk vibe on their 2019 debut LP, No Sense No Feeling, and now explore a more new wave vibe on their sophomore album, Blending, which comes out September 9th via Dais Records. The album\'s title track has a softer sound, reminiscent of The Cult or late-era Ride. In a press release, frontman Graham Sayle explains the song\'s meaning.

\\n

\\u201cIt became about cloaking yourself in whatever you present to the world, but you\\u2019re not defined by that. Just because I wear a trackie, it doesn\\u2019t mean that I haven\\u2019t read a book. The message of the album is you\\u2019re not who you think you are,\\u201d he continues. \\u201cYou\\u2019re not your class background. Whatever it is, you\\u2019re not that. Don\\u2019t resign yourself to thinking you can\\u2019t be this and you can\\u2019t be that.\\u201d
