South Arcade – Fear Of Heights
Atlantic Records today announces the signing of UK-based rock band South Arcade, in partnership with BKM Artists and LAB Records. To herald the news, the band has released their label debut single, “FEAR OF HEIGHTS”
South Arcade frontperson Harmony Cavelle shared, “When meeting with Johnny [Minardi, Atlantic Music Group SVP of A&R], Elliot [Grainge, Atlantic Music Group CEO], Zach [Friedman, Atlantic Music Group COO], Tony [Talamo, Atlantic Music Group GM], and the Atlantic team, it was like, FINALLY someone gets it! It was really like clicking with someone on the same wavelength. They actually understood what we were trying to convey and felt like we were all on the same page. Atlantic has such a legacy – we are so excited to be a part of that and see what we can all come up with as a joint force. We honestly couldn’t be more stoked.”
Atlantic Music Group Senior Vice President of A&R Johnny Minardi said, “From the very first chorus I heard from South Arcade, I was completely hooked! As I dug deeper into their songs and world, it felt like stepping into a modern take on a nostalgic era. I’m incredibly excited for what’s ahead as South Arcade teams up with Atlantic to take on the world.”
“FEAR OF HEIGHT”S is an electrifying track about breaking out of comfort zones and embracing opportunities. With their signature Y2K guitar-driven sound, vocalist Harmony’s unmistakable vocals and its singalong anthemic chorus at the forefront, this is sure to be a fan-favorite.
Speaking on the new song, the band said, “FEAR OF HEIGHTS is about that moment when comfort turns into a cage. When life gets monotonous, it can be easy to stay in your lane and carry on as things are but this song is the opposite. It’s telling you to take the risk and go for it. We’ve all found ourselves in situations where we’d woken up and thought “I need to get out of here” and that’s what this song represents – no risk, no reward.”
South Arcade are Harmony Cavelle (vocals), Harry Winks (guitar), Ollie Green (bass) and Cody Jones (drums).
