High Vis returned with their boundary-pushing third album, Guided Tour, last fall, which continued expanding their definition of hardcore with gruff club hits and spoken-word performances. Throughout April and May, the London five-piece will tour those songs with Militarie Gun across North America.
“We haven’t tried to sound a certain way,” vocalist Graham Sayle told us in 2024, reflecting upon the LP. “We have just tried to push ourselves in a way that’s honest. It sounds corny to say that, but all of us want to lean into what we’re doing. It feels nice having these huge, warm sounds. I love it. Who thought we were worthy of that kind of thing? I’ve always had image issues, like, ‘I can’t sing. Of course I can’t sing.’ And, technically, I can’t. But you do the best at whatever you can do.”

The band are currently finishing up a round of U.K. dates, and then they’ll kick off the new leg on April 15 in Seattle. They’ll conclude the tour exactly a month later, on May 15 in Los Angeles. Militarie Gun will join the whole run, with support from Age of Apocalypse, Cold Gawd, and Pissed Jeans on select dates.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (Feb. 21) at 10 a.m. local time here. In the meantime, revisit our cover story with Militarie Gun, where frontman Ian Shelton opened up about the band’s debut album and nonstop pace.
