London’s High Vis have released ‘Mob DLA’, their first single of 2024. Check it out below.
“The years upon years of public service cuts have had a devastating human effect on communities in the UK,” vocalist Graham Sayle said of the new single in a statement. “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.”
High Vis’ latest LP, Blending, arrived in 2022. Read our Artist Spotlight interview with High Vis.
