The Moshville Times - Perth, Australia’s South Summit address buried trauma in video for “Catacombs” (UK tour dates this month)

Perth, Australia’s South Summit are pleased to share the video for their single “Catacombs”, which is out now and available to stream on all good digital services. The band will be heading to our shores for a run of UK headline tour dates in May 2025, including an appearance at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton.

London and Manchester are now SOLD OUT with remaining tickets for other shows available from the band’s website.

Commenting on the UK run, the band said:

We’re beyond excited to be returning to the UK for The Great Escape and a few of our own shows. It feels so special to have sold out our first headline shows in the UK – thank you so much to everyone who has bought a ticket, we’ll see you in a couple of weeks!

With a deep, contagious groove and a confident, attitude-filled delivery from frontman Zaya Reuben, “Catacombs” is one of the most danceable tracks in the band’s discography so far—a very deliberate move throughout the writing process, as the band pushed to find a listening experience their growing fan-base can move to.

Commenting on the track, guitarist/vocalist Nemo Reuben says:

In “Catacombs” we really buckled down on finding the groove and focused heavily on bringing in sounds to create this Hip Hop/dance/funk track. Creating a piece of art where people can listen to the song and feel like they can express themselves, really ties in to the process of adding in synthesised effects combined with deep bass lines, groovy guitars and strong melodic elements. This track was pure from the start and it’s definitely a sound we’d love to keep exploring.

Lyrically, the track delves into pain and trauma, and how we tend to bury that mentally. Although things may seem perfect on the outside, some memories will always stick with you, and ‘Catacombs’ are used as a metaphor for those memories.

“The main themes are coming of age and how we deal with certain aspects of pain,” adds vocalist Zaya Reuben. “‘Catacombs’ is a track that helped me delve deep within myself, so I hope others can too. The inspiration behind the track comes from certain experiences from my life. The catacombs are a dark place beneath a somewhat beautiful place. I feel that everyone has their own catacombs hidden within them. So, I wanted to tell a story about what my catacombs look like.”
