Produced by the band and mixed by Thomas Mitchener, ‘Supermodels’ is what happens when someone says, “Hey, what if we took 2000s pop-punk nostalgia, shook it in a glitter cannon, and fired it directly into our eardrums?” The track opens with vibrant guitar riffs that pay homage to early rock staples of Sum 41 or Avril Lavigne. However, South Arcade’s true strength lies in obliterating expectations. Before I’ve even secured my headphones on, the song erupts into an audacious dance break — chaotic, bass-heavy, and utterly infectious. Mitchener’s mix ensures each layer — from punchy drum hits to Harmony Cavelle’s commanding vocals — remains sharp and vibrant. The track balances inexorable grit with unprecedented accessibility, it’s sure to find a home in all major clubs this season.

South Arcade said, “we wanted to push the limits of having a 2000s pop-punk accessible tune that then turns out to have the most obnoxious dance break in it. We just wanna keep doing things our listeners won’t expect from us but at the same time referencing y2k aspects in true South Arcade fashion. We also just wanted to write another really fun track especially with the lyrics on this one being so tongue in cheek. We can’t wait to play it at the festivals this year and see peoples reactions”

The four-piece are set to have an unbelievable year, packed out with unmissable live shows and huge festival dates. Kicking things off with a sold out show in Manchester and KOKO, they are heading straight out on the road as the support for American singer songwriter and musician Bilmuri’s huge European Tour. But they are far from finished; as they are jetting off to the US with American pop-punk band Magnolia Park for over 25 dates. This Summer, they play Slam Dunk and Radio 1’s Big Weekend in May and following a riotous headline of the BBC Introducing stage in 2024, they were invited back onto the main stage at Reading & Leeds this year, sharing the stage with the likes of Limp Bizkit and Bring Me The Horizon.

Lead singer Harmony Cavelle added, “2025 is turning out to be a crazy year so far. I think we are in disbelief that we will be actually going to Europe and America this year and to top it off returning home to play some of our favourite festivals Slam Dunk, Radio 1’s Big Weekend and Reading & Leeds Festival!”
