Laced with a street punk energy and mentality, ‘Mob DLA’ is the first taste of the forthcoming High Vis album slated for release later this year.

‘Mob DLA’ precedes a string of festival performances around the globe this summer, including Glastonbury in the UK, Hurricane Festival in Germany, Hellfest in France, Louder Than Life in Kentucky, Aftershock in California, Mondra & Roll in Spain, and more. High Vis will also be accompanying Speed for a run of shows in Australia this August and September alongside Pain Of Truth and Fuse. Tickets can be found at https://highvisuk.com/tour

“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 dehumanizing tests in order to monitor their eligibility for support for often lifelong disabilities. Marginalized 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.” – Graham Sayle

‘Mob DLA’ lyrics:
Inconsequential
Out of sight
Ain’t out my mind
Watching as you suffocate
Betrayed by life

Somewhere in between our hope and fate
Nothing ever comes to those who wait
I’ve seen enough to know for sure
The DSS back at your door
Forced to beg, to fight, to pray
A burden that you can’t escape
Is the price of life too much to bear?
If you can’t see it, is it not there?
They owe you more than a fucking living
We owe you more

Somewhere in between our hope and fate
Nothing ever comes to those who wait

Out of sight
Out of my mind
Alone
Ashamed
And ostracized

Out of sight
Out of mind

Somewhere in between our hope and fate
Nothing ever comes to those who wait
