HighSchool, the ascending post-punk duo from Naarm/Melbourne release their self-titled debut album via PIAS Australia. 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.

Self-titled and featuring the singles ‘Dipped’, ‘Colt’
