ABOUT THE BAND
THE LAST ARCADE
THE 80'S ARE BACK
Introducing The Last Arcade, the exciting new 80's inspired synthwave and synth rock band from Liverpool, England. Born out of a love of 80’s music, classic analog synths and inspired by artists like Foreigner, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode and Genesis as well as modern acts like The Midnight and The Weeknd, The Last Arcade are bringing the classic 80's sound back with a modern twist.
The Last Arcade fast made a name for themselves with their debut single "When We Were Young," quickly racking up over 100,000 streams on Spotify, garnering the attention of multiple radio stations around the world and finding their way onto in-store music playlists for popular retailers such as Boots, Sainsbury's, British Airways, Costa, and many others.
With 8 singles released, over 200,000 streams worldwide, weekly international radio play, a debut album and live shows planned for late 2023, TLA are the 80's inspired band you've been waiting for.
