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

SOUTH ARCADE: The Deleted Scenes Tour

20.09.2023 @ The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham (120 Capacity)

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.

Do yourselves a favour and PLEASE check this band out! Relatively new, my research shows them active for about a year or so in terms of being on my algorithm, but THEY ARE SO GOOD.

They catch the vibe and aesthetic of the 2000’s post-punk rock sound, similar to Sum 41, Blink182, early Avril Lavigne, etc.

I absolutely love their music, please don’t sleep on them!

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…

SOUTH ARCADE: THE ARC ANGEL TOUR

12.03.2024 @ O2 Academy 3, Birmingham (250 Capacity) ⚠️ TW: some flashing lights in video ⚠️

Written March 2024

First concert of the year and there’s no better way to kick it off than South Arcade. Having seen them just 6 months prior, I knew that it was going to be a good night and the Oxford-based band did not disappoint. Imagine if a 2000s pop it girl made rock music and you get South Arcade, a British rock band slowly breaking onto the scene. It’s a classic ‘pop diva has an emo phase’ sound and it’s absolutely wonderful to hear in real time. Having been on 2 tours already this year, they’re quickly becoming one of the acts to look out for in the coming years.

I had been in contact with the band about potentially coming to the gig beforehand to observe/help out as work experience - that didn't end up happening but they put me on the guestlist instead! I was still able to watch change-over in between sets though as we were at the barricade for the whole gig and it was interesting to watch because I actually knew what each crew member was doing and why.

The first opener was a heavy rock/metal band called Tropic Gold that I’d not heard of before, but I will definitely be checking them out at a later date. They were phenomenal. The second opener was a singer called Beren Olivia who had heard of but not yet listened to her music. Her set was just her and her guitarist, which meant that we got a nice, calmed down acoustic set of her punchy rock-influenced pop songs, including a part-cover of ‘Sugar, We’re going down’ by Fall Out Boy. I didn't realise till after the gig that she recorded backing vocals on one of my favourite songs, 'Every Heart but Mine' by Dylan, who I've gone to see in concert twice.

South Arcade blew all expectations, as expected tbh. We got to hear one of my favourites of their songs, ‘Nepo baby’ live as well as 2 unreleased songs, including ‘Riptide’ which is more than likely to be the band’s next single. To be able to hear covers of sk8er boi AND I kissed a girl in the same night was completely surprising and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Cody’s incredible drumming skills are enhanced by Harry & Ollie on Guitar and bass with just enough room to aid Harmony’s unreal vocals. It’s all the y2k nostalgia in a rock show but with clear modern rock elements coming through. 

@artbyamixx had gotten the band to sign an in-progress zine in September, and managed to get finished copies to hand out to friends we had met last time and to the band members when we got the chance to talk to them after the show and they absolutely loved them. Each page corresponded with a single of theirs (the most recent ones) and she’d even hand-sewn stitches onto a picture of a heart on one page!

It’s crazy that in just under 6 months, the band are playing shows at venues over double the size, they’ve grown so much in such a small amount of time and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. At this rate I’ll be going to every one of their headline tours!
