NZ band Coast Arcade release electrifying new single “City Limits”
Emerging New Zealand band Coast Arcade make their DNü debut with “City Limits”, and let me tell you—it’s one of those tracks you instantly know is going to be on repeat. The band, which came together back in 2021 while they were still in high school, has already carved out a spot for themselves on the local scene, and their last single “Baited” even started making waves internationally.
“City Limits” hits hard with a killer music video that matches the song’s restless vibe—a perfect backdrop for frontwoman Bella Bavin’s raw, honest vocals and sharp-as-hell guitar riffs. You can feel the whole band’s chemistry, with Thom’s tight, explosive drumming and Leo’s basslines giving the track this driving, anthemic energy. It’s all about that feeling of outgrowing your hometown and craving something more, which they nail completely.
With that early-2000s rock feel that’s somehow nostalgic and fresh at the same time, “City Limits” is the perfect song for dreamers, for those in search of something bigger, something new. Coast Arcade is definitely a band you should watch—something tells me they’re just getting started.
“‘City Limits’ is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped by their hometown or their situation. It’s about embracing that feeling of restlessness and using it to push toward something new. We hope listeners take away a sense of empowerment.” — Bella Bavin.
