Riffs, Raspy Vocals & Rock ‘n’ Roll: It’s Arkayla. The Manchester band are back with their new EP, BACK TO BELLE VUE, with 'Run Kid' coming in hot.
Bringing together raspy vocals, gritty guitars, groovy rhythms and that fiery rock energy we all secretly miss from the early 2000s, the four-track EP sees Arkayla doing what they do best. “Run Kid” and “Doba” join new tracks “Vivian” and “My Number”, making for a release that feels loud, positive and ready to be your next ON REPEAT!
On the horizon, the band are touring the UK, with all 12 dates sold out and more than 5,000 tickets snapped up! That includes a sold-out 1,600-capacity O2 Ritz Manchester, before they take their rock-fuelled sound to the Main Stage at Leeds Festival later this month.
They’ve already had a seriously busy festival summer too, playing Latitude, Truck, Kendal Calling and Neighbourhood Weekender. Did you catch them live?
With support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X, Rolling Stone UK, Clash, Dork, Notion and Wonderland, this band is one to watch.
Oh, and if you needed another reason to check out “Run Kid”, the track was recently picked as the FIFA World Cup show theme song with James Corden. Not bad.
