Banks Arcade - Second Place Superstar - CD/Vinyl

Banks Arcade are a modern heavy metal band that has dismantled the traditional genre walls to fuse the raw, physical violence of metal with the maximalist energy of alternative electronic music and hip-hop. Drawing inspiration from underground electronic artists, modern hip hop, and classic metal-core the band has always been hellbent on creating something unique. The identity of the band was forged by two best friends driven by a relentless desire to perfect. A partnership where life experiences range from Jazz degrees to professional MMA fighting. Born in a corner of the world where musical success seemed an impossibility, Banks Arcade was built on a foundation of constant relocation and total reinvention. For everyone involved, the struggle was the catalyst for an unbreakable new identity. Over the past few years, Banks Arcade has evolved from a New Zealand underdog to a global force. They have sold out headline shows across the Southern Hemisphere and dominated international stages, including Download Festival, while supporting heavyweights such as The Plot in You, Northlane, and Thornhill. With a commitment to pushing musical limits, Banks Arcade continues to redefine what a modern heavy band can be.
