Parallel Park are an upbeat five-piece indie band from Aotearoa NZ. They write songs with ‘feels’ - sonic explorations of life's complexities, with relatable themes of love, loss and self-discovery. 

Music NZ wrote “Parallel Park are creating something very different, unique, and of incredible quality in terms of songwriting, performance, and production. To call it indie pop rock is like putting it into an existing box when it’s something unique that deserves to proudly stand alone.” 

The band have been together since intermediate school in 2017. Highlights include playing a sold out 'Growing Taller' album release show, opening for The Beths, and performing at summer festivals. 

Their self-produced debut album ‘Growing Taller’ released in February 2024, with their earlier EP ‘Parallel Park Vol 1’ released in December 2022. Available on all main streaming platforms.

Coast Arcade are an indie-rock powerhouse from Auckland, New Zealand, injecting new life into guitar-driven music with their explosive energy and fresh take on the sounds of the 90s and early 2000s. Formed in high school and now operating as a fully self-managed and full-time act, the band’s four members - Bella Bavin (vocals/guitar), Leo Spykerman (bass/vocals), Arlo Birss (guitar), and Thom Boynton (drums) - bring together backgrounds in indie, metal, punk, and shoegaze to form a sound that’s bold, melodic, and built for the stage.
Coast Arcade has developed a loyal national following through relentless gigging, authentic storytelling, and a live show that’s as tight as it is energetic. Their debut EP Next To Me featured standout track Highest Heights (#2 Hot NZ Singles Chart), and 2024 singles Baited (#3) and City Limits (#8) marked a significant step into the international market. Collectively, the band has now surpassed 1 million+ streams, 950,000+ YouTube views, and boasts 33,000+ followers across platforms.
Their release campaign has seen consistent editorial support from Spotify and Apple Music, including placements on Fresh Finds Global, Best New Rock, Today’s Rock, and New Music Daily. They’ve also gained airplay in Australia, the UK, Europe, Asia, North and South America, with support from BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 1 Rock Show, Double J (AU), Radio Freccia (Italy), Spoon Radion (SUI) and Radio Hauraki (NZ). In 2024 alone, they’ve clocked thousands of radio spins and won the hearts of thousands of international fans.
Onstage, Coast Arcade has supported a growing list of international acts including Peach Pit, Lime Cordiale, The Beths, Teenage Dads, The Terrys, The Grogans, and Belair Lipbombs. They’ve played major festivals like Rhythm and Vines, Le Currents, Spring City, and White Out, alongside sold-out headline shows in Auckland, Hamilton, and Tauranga.
Now in the lead-up to their debut album (dropping October 2025), Coast Arcade is focused on expanding their audience across the globe. With a polished yet ferocious live show and a rapidly growing international presence, they are one of New Zealand’s most exciting export-ready bands.
