OH MY FUCKING GOD GUESS WHO’S GOING TO SEE NOAHFINNCE IN NOVEMBER RAAAAAHHHGGHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
this’ll be my second concert EVER, and as much as I loved seeing holly johnson with my mum and he was incredible, I’ve watched and listened to noahfinnce for YEARS, and his new album is technically what made me start listening to mcr and then more emo / pop punk on the whole, so this is really exciting

Written Sept 2023
I was first introduced to south arcade when they opened for a tour alongside Cameron Sanderson, another artist I listen to. After listening to the singles they had released at the time, it’s safe to say I was a huge fan & at this point it was a no-brainer that I would get tickets to see them at such a small & local venue. To top it all off, after buying tickets, it was announced that another one of my favourite bands, artio, were opening alongside Monty Keates.
South arcade only formed in 2021 but have already proved that they're an amazing addition to the UK scene. Coming out of Oxford, the band perfectly blends heavy bass, guitar riffs & punchy drums underneath towering vocals to arrive at the alt-rock/pop genre. Harmony's vocals are unique in a way I've never heard before & they only strengthen the energy driven songs played that night. I'd be lying if I said no audience member didn't jump to their energetic songs. Similarly to Artio, the band had a single coming out 2 days later & we were able to hear 'Silverlight' (song in video) before its release. After the show, we were able to go up into the bar upstairs to meet everyone & buy merch. Like the last time I came to this venue, I tried to reach out to the band to get work experience, but they didn't get back to me. When I mentioned it to them, they were extremely apologetic & said I'd definitely be able to next time (and I'm going to hold them to that!) @artbyamixx also got their signatures for a zine she's working on for them. Something else that the band did was make party bags for everyone to take home with signed photos, key chains & other stuff inside. I wish every band did this now!
Overall, it was an amazing gig. I loved all 3 sets & so did everyone else by the looks of it. Dare I say it's become my favourite concert to date? Yes. I do. It was fucking amazing if I wasn't clear. I highly recommend the band & will definitely be going to see them the next time they're in town.
Yours Truly @ Leeds Key Club 11.03.23 — “Heartsleeve” 🖤
Yours Truly were awesome last night! I was a little disappointed that they didn’t play ‘I Can’t Feel’ which is my favourite song of theirs, but they did end up adding ‘Heartsleeve’ to the set, which is another of my favourite songs that I really wasn’t expecting to hear at all, so that was super cool 🖤🤘
Lizzie Farrall and South Arcade were great too, especially South Arcade, I think I’ll be checking more of them out in the future

Live Review: Yours Truly with South Arcade and Lizzy Farrall at The Underworld, Camden, London (15/03/23)
It’s all about feeling good and enjoying life in The Underworld, as Yours Truly deliver a stonking blast of pop-punk.
Australian pop-punk band Yours Truly couldn’t have picked a worse day to play in London, seeing as the show coincides with massive train strikes, including the tube. Something that makes getting to Camden mighty difficult for many.
So, it’s heartening to see The Underworld not just packed for the headliners but busy enough for the support bands, South Arcade and Lizzy Farrall. Two bands that…
These aren’t recent, they’re from last year. I found a bunch of art and full on comics for SP and these from the Pony Park AU while going through my folder that I just never posted. So I’m posting these now at least
