High Vis are an English post-punk band from London, formed in 2016 by members of several UK hardcore bands. Known for blending hardcore punk energy with post-punk, indie rock, and Britpop influences, the band have become one of the most acclaimed and distinctive voices in modern British alternative music.
While rooted in the UK hardcore scene, High Vis have consistently expanded their sound beyond genre boundaries. Their combination of socially conscious lyrics, anthemic songwriting, and working-class perspective has earned praise from both hardcore audiences and mainstream music critics.
High Vis's music combines the urgency and spirit of hardcore punk with melodic guitar work, introspective lyrics, and influences drawn from post-punk, indie rock, Britpop, and alternative music. Their songs frequently explore themes of class, mental health, personal growth, and life in modern Britain.
The band's willingness to embrace melody and experimentation while maintaining a hardcore ethos has helped establish them as one of the most innovative groups to emerge from the UK underground in recent years.

Guided Tour (2024) – critically acclaimed third album building upon the foundations of Blending with bigger melodies, greater confidence, and some of the strongest songwriting of the band's career.
High Vis have become one of the defining bands of the modern UK alternative scene, proving that hardcore roots and broader musical ambition can coexist without compromise. Their success has helped introduce a new generation of listeners to the possibilities of hardcore and punk-inspired music.
