new music: check out queens-based punk rockers red arkade in hair-raising, metal-infused ep ‘livewire’

Red Arkade are a hardcore punk rock collective from Queens. Right away their musical intensity is at the forefront. They have a distinctly punk sound that’s rough around the edges with straight forward melodies and vocals. What sets Red Arkade apart is how those melodies are powered by heavy, aggressive guitar riffs that screech and howl throughout tracks like ‘Livewire’ and ‘Take It Back’. Listen to the guys from Red Arkade down below and let us know what you think.
