The project of Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott , HighSchool offer a new lens on distilled shoegaze, new wave and post-punk. Since forming in 2021 with their breakout Forever At Last EP and 2024 follow-up EP Accelerator, they’ve finely tuned a sound that ruminates on the sentimentalism of suburban adolescence and fleeting youth. Made with producers Ben Hillier (Blur, Depeche Mode) and Finn Billingham (RIP Magic, Sam Akpro), their debut self-titled album HighSchool was released in Fall 2025 and sees the band further refine their signature sound, with influences as wide as slowcore, Drain Gang-style hip hop and the alt-rock steps of Alex G.
