DIY hardcore punks High Vis have shared a moving new single ahead of the release of their upcoming album Blending next month.

The band’s latest effort was born from devastating circumstances, but ultimately has a touching message to really pay attention to.

Says High Vis’ Graham Sayle: “Trauma Bonds was written after the news of another tragic suicide of one of our friends during lockdown. It forced us to reflect on how the death of young people had become so normalised within our group of friends that we had become numb to it. Friendships became Trauma Bonds and the gravity of these situations suppressed through toxic coping mechanisms.

“The song is a hopeful exploration into these feelings in an attempt to support each other through better communication and collective empathy.”
