THE LAST ARCADE

The Last Arcade are an 80s-inspired synthwave and synth rock band from Liverpool, England. Formed in 2020, the band comprises vocalist Ste McNally, guitarist Paul Garrett and keyboardist and producer Steve Erickson. Drawing inspiration from artists including Foreigner, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode and Genesis, alongside The Midnight and The Weeknd, they build their songs around analog synth textures, driving guitars and modern production.

“When We Were Young” introduced the band in 2021, attracting international radio support and earning in-store and onboard playlist placements with British Airways, Boots, Sainsbury’s and Costa. Their 10-track debut album, Timelines, captures the first chapter of their catalogue through songs including “People Like Us,” “Nobody Knows” and “Time of Our Lives.” More recent releases include “Older,” “Looking for Love,” “Why Did You Leave Me” featuring Tricia McTeague, and “Grace.” In 2026, the fifth-anniversary video for “When We Were Young” revisited lost Liverpool landmarks and was featured by the Liverpool Echo.
