South Summit Embrace a Bold New Era with Explosive Single ‘We Are’

WA favourites, South Summit are back with a fearless new single, ‘We Are’, marking a powerful sonic shift for one of Australia’s most exciting new bands. Following their breakout hit ‘Top of the Hill’, the five-piece return with a grittier, production-heavy anthem that blends reggae spirit with West Coast hip-hop energy.

Recorded at Blackbird Studios, ‘We Are’ captures the band’s raw intensity and message of unity. “It’s about moving through life without listening to the norms of society,” the band shares. “When we come together and have each other’s backs, we won’t fold to anything.”

With its bold rhythms, cinematic hooks, and defiant lyricism, ‘We Are’ showcases South Summit’s creative evolution — a confident new chapter that’s already turning heads across the country. The single arrives ahead of the band’s Eastside Headline Tour, with shows in Melbourne and Sydney this November, before a packed summer festival run including Spilt Milk and triple j’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.

As they prepare to support Tash Sultana on her massive 2026 UK and EU tour, South Summit are proving they’re not just part of the next wave of Australian music — they’re leading it.
