Arcade Rivals

Arcade Rivals is a rock band from Albuquerque, New Mexico made up of 4 lifelong musicians. When David Jaffe (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) decided he wanted to collaborate with other people to make music, he found Joey Martinez (drums) and Jonny Heffern (lead guitar, backing vocals), two longtime friends and veterans of multiple Albuquerque bands. They began to play and eventually create together, and found their final piece in Zac Karim (bass guitar). Their sound has been described as “alternative pop-punk with an edge” – influenced by grunge, punk, classic rock, and indie music. With their first EP, Season One under their belt, they are constantly writing new music and looking to release a full length record in the near future. You can catch them playing local shows as often as possible to connect with their fans and support the local music scene.
