South Summit have only recently wrapped up their first headlining national tour, but they’re itching to get back in front of crowds again. They’ve just announced a slew of East Coast dates in September to celebrate the release of their brand new single “Promise Me.” This is another cool cut from the band which showcases Isaiah Reuben’s soulful vocals beautifully. If you love your rock music with a side order of reggae, you’re going to dig this one.
“‘Promise Me’ is about falling for the rebelliousness of someone and hoping they will give you that part of them,” Isaiah explained. “It’s about having an itch to be different from everyone else. A side that gives us adrenaline only makes things exciting.”
“Recording ‘Promise Me’ started from a jam us boys had back in 2021,” added his younger brother and the band’s rhythm guitarist, Nehemiah. “All of us love that soul rock and groove feel and I think that’s what we aimed for in this song. Writing a tune for people to dance to is something we considered when in the process of making it, having groovy rhythms and a soulful voice played a major part in this one. We were so stoked to have Dave Parkin (Blackbird Studio) bring it to life, we all enjoyed recording this one and I think you guys will like it.”
They’ve only just been on the road, but South Summit are ready to do it all again this September.
“This trip over east is definitely the most exciting thing that we have booked so far and we are keen to get back on the road,” they confirmed. “We are all stoked to go on another one after our recent Tired of Waiting Australia Tour in May/June. We are returning to Sydney, Melbourne and Byron, but adding debut dates in Sunshine Coast, Wollongong and Caringbah, with new venues in all cities. We are also playing at Springtime Festival in the Gold Coast, another huge achievement as it’s another festival in 2022 with some of Aussie’s best live acts.”
