Event Details
Manchester-based quartet Arkayla return to Westview Live for a Headline show not to be missed.
Since their formation in 2020, Arkayla have soared through the indie music scene, bursting onto the radar with a series of high-energy singles that have earned them widespread acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase.
Their debut single, ‘Calling Time,’ quickly garnered attention, not only in their hometown but also on a national scale. Since then, the group’s sound, a blend of guitar riffs reminiscent of The Smiths and the melodic charm of The La’s, has earned them support from the likes of BBC Radio 6’s Guy Garvey and Radio X’s John Kennedy.
All working class charm and wit, it blends their indie appeal with some frisky Brazilian rhythms.
Introducing The Kowloons, a fresh Liverpool band revitalising Britpop with their fusion of jangly harmonies and Northern acoustic garage pop. Formed in 2022 by twin brothers Stephen Ng (vocals) and Anthony Ng (drums), the lineup expanded to include Mason Jones (guitar) and Bobby Griffiths (bass).
The Kowloons have quickly established themselves as one to watch in the emerging wave of Merseyside bands. Boasting a powerful songwriting prowess beyond their years, as displayed in the first euphoric single off their debut EP, ‘Can We Go Faster?’, which is to be followed by the thunderous second track ‘Raining (It Don’t Stop)’.
The Kowloons celebrate the concise, chorus-driven style of Northern hits, featuring thoughtful lyrics inspired by a wealth of film and literature. Their sound is rich and nostalgic, sounding like a lost polaroid from your youth, wrapped up in catchy hooks and melodies.
They’re on a fast track to success, and their journey is one you won’t want to miss.
The Cases are a four-piece from hailing from Preston. They’re made up of Harry (vocals & rhythm guitar), Will (lead guitarist), James (bassist), and Matt (drums).
“A sonic trip right back to the glory days of 2000’s indie”
With their catchy hooks and mile-a-minute drumming they’ll have you addicted after your first listen.
