After a tantalizing of the tastebuds release of their first tune, Tattoo, Coast Arcade have pulled up on the scene for the second time to drop another single, which is just off the press, Highest Heights.

Since the release of their debut single in mid-2022, everyone has been asking for more Coast Arcade music to be unleashed and finally, today is that day! This means we can all go out tonight to celebrate the opening up of this magnetic force of coolness that has been gifted direct from these four Auckland-based talents.

An edgy, indie-pop-rock combination, Coast Arcade are known for the power they bring to the table with not only their instrumental work, but also their slickly produced tracks that are symbolic to their unique creativity.

Highest Heights allows the listener to connect directly to the electric vibes that they are allowing to be endlessly enhanced, something that perks up your ears from the very first drop of the guitar work.

Taking inspiration from many musical icons worldwide, Coast Arcade have enveloped their own vibe into Highest Heights, which tends to shine thoughtfully throughout the track.

Highest Heights encompasses the maturity of the band, showcasing the growth they have had, even in a few short months.

It will be hard to bypass Highest Heights once you get past the first listen of this more-ish tune. It will be spinning in your brain for the next two years, without a doubt.

Coast Arcade are steadily, readily and happily making big steps into getting themselves known within the New Zealand music scene, which is very much paying off on a daily basis, with exciting projects and gigs constantly being announced by the band.

With over 14k plays on Spotify alone with Tattoo, Highest Heights is bound to be an absolute kicker with its banging rhythm, dominant vocals and reassurance that the song is the right direction that Coast Arcade should be taking.

It’s the perfect way to see out the last month of summer, but be assured, Highest Heights will not stop before it gets to the top, even when the season is over.
