South Summit Share New Single ‘HEARTLESS’ Ahead of National Tour

The West Aussie lads are also gearing up for the release of their new album RUN IT BACK.

As they prepare for the release of their sophomore album RUN IT BACK, out Friday 12 June, South Summit have shared the album’s fourth single, ‘HEARTLESS’.

The indie influenced groover about heartbreak has an upbeat dance beat and is accompanied by a music video directed by Brendan Cecich that shows the lads atop Western Australia’s iconic Bluff Knoll.

“We went down south and recorded this one at our mate’s massive property,” says vocalist Zaya Reuben. “This was our first session where we officially started the album. It’s a real heartbreak story about a past relationship. It’s about heartbreak, but it’s uplifting at the same time – it flips that feeling so people can feel a bit better about themselves.”

RUN IT BACK is 12 tracks of indie rock earcandy and features the previously released singles ‘TOP OF THE HILL’, ‘WE ARE’ and ‘ON THE DASH’, along with ‘HEARTLESS’.

Recently returned from a tour of the UK and Europe supporting The Terrys, South Summit embarks on their own tour this July, kicking things off in Sydney at Metro Theatre on Friday 10 July and continuing with shows at The Triffid in Brisbane (Saturday 11 July), Lion Arts Factory in Adelaide (Friday 17 July) and 170 Russell in Melbourne (Saturday 18 July), with the final date at the Metropolis in Fremantle on Saturday 25 July.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now via southsummitband.com.

Since they got together in 2020, South Summit have gained a loyal following in WA. Releasing three EPs from 2021 to 2023, South Summit’s electrifying debut album The Bliss arrived in 2024 to much fanfare.

The record landed at #25 on the ARIA Album Charts and was tripe j’s Feature Album of the week, leading to tours with Tash Sultana and The Dreggs, along with an appearance at triple j’s 50th Anniversary celebrations and Spilt Milk Festival.

With their new album on the horizon, coupled with their biggest headline tour to date, South Summit are set to make waves in 2026.
