Forever At Last - 2026 Repress

'Forever at Last' - the debut EP by Melbourne’s HighSchool - is finally back in print on vinyl. Six brilliant tracks that introduced the world to an exciting new band, it’s been out of print long enough and is being reissued ahead of their 35-date World tour. Produced by Archie Shannon (Floodlights), the band’s ingenuity shines with them effortlessly mining myriad influences. Where first singles ‘Frosting’ and ‘New York, Paris and London’ delighted with their potent mix of sun-dappled indie pop and industrial post-punk, their next two ‘De Facto’ and ‘Sirens’ pointed to the dancefloor with the band infusing DFA / New Order / Future Islands sounds while the final pair saw ‘Jerry’ taking a darker turn, playing on the band’s gothic image before closer and title track ‘Forever at Last’ pushed the synth to the fore. A perfect record.

HighSchool

HighSchool are the Melbourne duo of Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott, who first turned heads with their debut EP 'Forever at Last', a record that showed a new band excitingly putting a different lens to lo-fi, new wave, goth and post-punk sounds. A move to London shortly followed, where they released the Dan Carey–produced ‘Only a Dream’ 7” on his Speedy Wunderground label then the Italodisco-tinged banger ‘Colt’ whilst playing festivals and touring with the likes of Sam Fender, Provoker and Chvrches. Their follow-up EP 'Accelerator' showed a darker edge, drawing comparisons to Bar Italia and julie, in part a result of them now diving in on emo influences.

Returning to Australia shortly after a sold-out UK tour with Wunderhorse, HighSchool are finally back with their awaited debut album and it doesn’t disappoint. Self-titled and featuring the singles ‘Dipped’, ‘Colt’ and ‘149’, they’ve enlisted producers Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode) and Finn Bellingham (RIP Magic, Sam Akpro, Sunken) to help them deliver an essential record that plays on the band’s name as its core theme, 12 tracks that channel the restless energy and the rose-tinted mythologies of youth.
