The 50 best albums of 2024
The Kerrang! countdown of the 50 albums that shaped 2024.
Listen to High Vis’ new single Mob DLA, which hears frontman Graham Sayle reflecting on the “power of community action in the face of sustained neglect”.
High Vis are back with new music!
The London punks have just shared new single Mob DLA, which is our first glimpse at the band’s next album (due for release later this year).
And it comes with a typically vital meaning, as vocalist Graham Sayle explains: “The years upon years of public service cuts have had a devastating human effect on communities in the UK. People are forced to justify their need for assistance, made to endure dehumanising tests in order to monitor their eligibility for support for often lifelong disabilities. Marginalised communities are left to fend for themselves then vilified in targeted media smear campaigns. This is all happening in the shadow of ever increasing bonuses and salaries for the political and industrial elite and their friends.
“I have seen this in my own family. The stress and anxiety of people simply trying to find space in a world which increasingly feels designed against them is palpable. And through it all, I’ve seen the power of community action in the face of sustained neglect.”
