The Repores are serving up some of the freshest alternative rock and danceable bops in the Melbourne/Naarm scene. Known for their electric live shows — where the floor starts rocking long before the crowd stops moving — the band fuse infectious groove with grit, carving out a sound that’s as rhythm-driven as it is emotionally charged.
After recording four early singles in their high school attic, The Repores have since evolved into one of Melbourne’s most talked-about rising acts, selling out packed pubs across the city. With the addition of Alex Lutton on keyboards, vocals, and percussion, their sound has gained new depth — a bold, layered evolution that keeps their raw, grinding jam energy intact. Now gearing up for their upcoming debut EP release (November 28th), the band are poised to ignite a run of high-energy shows across some of the city’s favourite venues.
“Fighter” is the sound of endurance — a muscular, rhythm-heavy anthem that captures the band’s trademark blend of sweat, swagger, and sincerity. With propulsive drums, roaring guitars, and a hook that lands like a punch to the gut, the track channels frustration into freedom, making it as cathartic on the dance floor as it is on headphones.
It’s both a statement and a promise: The Repores aren’t just another indie outfit — they’re the heartbeat of Melbourne’s next live revolution. With “Fighter,” they prove that rock can still move bodies and stir souls.
