“Your Eyes Don't See” - Highet

Feature

11 Sept

If you’ve been craving a rock track that doesn’t pull punches, Highet’s “Your Eyes Don’t See” is about to become your new obsession. Bursting with high-octane energy, the Vancouver-based father-son duo deliver a song that feels like it was built for blasting out of car windows and shaking the walls of a dive bar stage.

With jagged guitar riffs, a relentless rhythm section, and the raw intensity of punk colliding with the slick hooks of new wave, this track proves Highet aren’t here to tiptoe into the scene—they’re here to stomp in and demand attention.

What really sets “Your Eyes Don’t See” apart is the balance of grit and heart. The track doesn’t just shred sonically; it also carries a sense of urgency in its lyrics, digging into themes of disconnection and frustration when someone can’t—or won’t—see you for who you really are. That mix of emotional depth with a pedal-to-the-floor rock vibe makes the song land with serious impact.

You can feel the influences of The Cars, The Killers, and The Offspring, but Highet filter those inspirations through their own story, giving their sound a personal edge.

And speaking of story—how many rock duos can trace their name back to a Yukon creek where their ancestors once mined for decades? That sense of history and grit seeps into their music, giving it weight beyond the hooks and riffs. It’s not just about putting out tracks; it’s about carrying forward a legacy while making something fresh and fiercely alive.

With an extended version of “Your Eyes Don’t See” on the way, plus new singles (“Time is What I’m Wasting” and “I Want to See You Again”) already lined up, Highet are clearly playing the long game. This single is more than just a follow-up to their debut EP Never Alone—it’s a statement of intent.

Loud, defiant, and unapologetically guitar-first, “Your Eyes Don’t See” shows Highet aren’t just making music. They’re carving out their own lane in rock, and it’s only the beginning.

“Your Eyes Don't See” is available now on all major streaming platforms
