SOUTH ARCADE ANNOUNCE NEW EP PLAY!
OUT 21ST NOVEMBER
PRESAVE HERE
NEW SINGLE DRIVE MYSELF HOME OUT NOW
LISTEN HERE
Currently on their huge US Tour, South Arcade have announced their brand new EP, PLAY!, will be released on 21st November, via BKM Artists and LAB Records and is available to presave here. As a teaser from the EP, they have released the highly anticipated single Drive Myself Home, which premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record. Listen here.
Drive Myself Home perfectly captures the band’s signature blend of catchy guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, and creative sound-effect infused hooks. Speaking on the new song, the band said, “Drive Myself Home is about realising that time spent on something or the history attached to it isn’t the reason to hold on. What was right once may not be right now and letting go doesn’t make you a bad person, it just means you’re doing what’s best for you.”
The track arrives in the middle of their huge 22-date US tour, where fans across the country are already getting a first listen to the song’s soaring melodies. With shows across the country, the tour saw them kick things off last week in Orlando before hitting Atlanta, Austin, and New York. The sold-out tour includes shows in Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Dallas before wrapping up in Nashville on 8th November.
New 5-track EP PLAY!, will feature their latest singles, FEAR OF HEIGHTS and Radio 1 favourite Supermodels, as well as previously unheard singles Bleed Out (feat Bilmuri) and Blood Run Warm. PLAY! is due to be released during their biggest UK and Ireland tour in November, playing some of their largest headline shows to date including London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.
The four-piece are rising at an incredible rate, having had one of their busiest years to date. As well as their own headline tours, the band played to huge crowds at Slam Dunk and Radio 1’s Big Weekend and following a riotous headline set of the BBC Introducing stage in 2024, they were invited back onto the main stage at Reading & Leeds this August, sharing the stage with the likes of Limp Bizkit and Bring Me The Horizon. A force to be reckoned with, South Arcade have found a huge following across their social media with over 16.9 million likes on TikTok and a rapidly growing YouTube following after gaining popularity with videos of their rehearsals and live stage antics. With over 1.3 million monthly listeners, last year’s EP, 2005, now has over 50 million streams on Spotify alone and includes tracks stone cold summer, MOTH KIDS and HOW 2 GET AWAY WITH MURDER.
South Arcade are Harmony Cavelle (vocals), Harry Winks (guitar), Ollie Green (bass) and Cody Jones (drums).
