A British band that only formed in 2021 turning up on a Columbus hard-rock bill says plenty about how fast South Arcade's last couple of years have moved. Rock Sound put them on its cover as one of its Stars of 2026, and in November it named them Best British Artist at its annual awards, crediting a year it said had set them up for 2027.
The four of them, singer Harmony Cavelle, guitarist Harry Winks, bassist Ollie Green and drummer Cody Jones, formed in 2021 and work out of Oxford. What they do is openly built from the 2000s, and in interviews they've pointed to No Doubt, Avril Lavigne, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. So far it's come in short bursts, singles stacked into EPs like 2005 in December 2024 and PLAY! in 2025.
