Arcade 9

Exploding out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Arcade 9 is breathing new life into pop-punk with soaring hooks, razor-sharp riffs, and the kind of anthems made for screaming back at the stage. Blending the emotional punch of early-2000s emo with the urgency of 90s skate punk, the female-fronted four-piece delivers songs that are equal parts nostalgia, catharsis, and controlled chaos. Whether it's a sweaty club show or a festival stage, Arcade 9 thrives on loud guitars, bigger choruses, and unforgettable live performances. Their self-proclaimed "Nostalgiacore" sound will make you want to crack open a can of Surge, dust off your skateboard, and fire up Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
