Michael Lenzi
What got me inspired back in my teens was punk, post punk and hardcore. I am from Washington, DC. Born and raised. Beautiful music burst out of my city. With a zealot's pride I embraced it. Dischord Records. Go Go music. So much jagged beauty and emotion. So much of my reality reflected back at me.
This has that specialness. Thanks to High Vis for existing and making this music.
Favorite track: Out Cold.

Blendingby High Vissupported by
brantly A pell-mell mix of chiming post-punk-y splendor. Melding the ringing pop of early U2 with The Sound, The Church and a punked up early Oasis. Sits nicely alongside contemporaries like Homefront and Soft Kill.
David Goldstein British, Fred Perry wearing, hardcore kids living out Britpop/shoegaze/Madchester fantasies. RIYL if you ever wanted to hear what the Charlatans or Stone Roses sounded like pissed off. Favorite track: Fever Dream.
cold purveryor of narcotic death Most anticipated of 22. Release day edit: well worth the wait. Flawless start to finish. Too early to pick a favorite track, but will be spinning this on repeat over the holidays when my vinyl arrives! Oi! Favorite track: 0151.more...

Something To Consumeby Die Spitzsupported by
pete127 This is the best album I've heard in decades. And that really goes for every song, no matter how different they are. These four girls give me hope and courage for the future—keep up the great work!
David Oberlin Man, I wish I wrote riffs as heavy as this! \m/ <3 \m/ Favorite track: American Porn.more...
t0cktock The videos slowly trickled into my YouTube algorithms somehow. Then one night, I fell asleep watching something else on YouTube and woke up to their KEXP performance of "American Porn". It's been stuck in my head ever since. Die Spitz lives somewhere in the intersection of grunge, punk and metal; filthy and heavy. Favorite track: American Porn.more...

Rosesby WIDOWSPEAKsupported by
kitsuune 🦊💫 angelic indie folk for a stifling sunday afternoon. Favorite track: Actor.
DaddyBird "If You Change" is beautiful, wonderful song. Classic soft indie rock sound, to put a trite label on the style. The song reminds me of my late wife. Brings back lovely memories. Looking forward to the whole album very muchmore...

…Beginning of the Endby portrayal of guiltsupported by
brycesilianoff Feels like the moment you realize you just died during an explosion and you’re in the bardo crawling around in the darkness looking for an exit. Hell yeah brother Favorite track: Heaven’s Gate.
Darknight Adore this amazing band and take in all the pleasure of this astounding album. There is no other band quite like Portrayal of guilt you'll realise that when your ears are open to the sound of Death From Above🤘 Favorite track: Death From Above.more...

The Line That Shapes the Coast of Usby Chalk Handssupported by
Adam Andrade A very genuine and heartfelt band that will succeed in putting you in your feels Favorite track: Ember Lane.
Nando Rodrigues The Line That Shapes the Coast of Us is one of those records that feels less like a collection of songs and more like a full emotional journey. From start to finish, Chalk Hands create a sound that moves between fragile, atmospheric moments and overwhelming walls of intensity, never losing its sense of purpose. Favorite track: Ember Lane.
rettisawesome Big and powerful, but intimate and emotional. It's more mature than Don't Think About Death with many more introspective moments that don't impede the forward momentum at all. When they are pumping full bore, feels like your hanging on for dear life in the best way. Favorite track: Ember Lane.more...
