New single, "Back Then", out 11th May 👽

Huwbergine is a brand new artist hailing from Leeds, UK and self-proclaimed side hustle of KOYO frontman Huw Edwards. In his own words, “Huwbergine was my lockdown project. I shut myself away, worked on my production skills, shaved my head and attempted to reinvent myself".
 
His influences range from Prince, particularly Sign O’ The Times (an album that was well and truly rinsed during lockdown); to the synthy lushness of Tame Impala and Mac Demarco; to the fun loving, tongue in cheek-iness of Connan Mockasin and the tight hip-hop tinged grooves of drummer Yussef Dayes.
 
His debut and sophomore singles, “Grow" and “I’m On It”, both co-produced with Jay Russell (Yard Act), were self released in 2021. His follow-up single, “Back Then”, co-produced with Mike Horner (Everything Everything, Hot Chip) is scheduled for release 11th May 2022 via 88 Watt Records.

Blackout the Arcade signifies the uprising of a new revelation within the Indie and Alternative music scene in the North-East of England; introducing a fusion of “no-nonsense” reverberant rock with psychedelic undertones, in a style not too dissimilar from the likes of The Killers and Catfish and the Bottlemen.  

In anticipation of their run of 5 new single releases, Blackout the Arcade “Darlington’s hottest new indie outfit” hope to match the success of their previous "catchy indie bangers” that are “laden with towering guitar hooks and a driving vocal performance, giving you a thrilling treat to wrap your ears around” as well as nostalgic live performances at independent venues in the North-East such as THINK TANK?, The Georgian Theatre and KU Bar  

The North-East is starting to get a reputation for “producing some amazing guitar-based acts, with Blackout the Arcade is the latest alumni to join the roster”. Radiating an infectious and ignitable energy which is impossible to disregard, the group now have their ambitions aimed on smashing through the formidable barricades of 2024.
