Banks Arcade release new album 'SECOND PLACE SUPERSTAR'

Banks Arcade unleash their new album SECOND PLACE SUPERSTAR, a bold and emotionally charged statement from a band that has never been interested in fitting neatly into one genre.

Blurring the boundaries between modern metal, alternative electronic music and hip hop, the record captures Banks Arcade at their most ambitious, unpredictable and personal yet. Built on contrast, SECOND PLACE SUPERSTAR moves effortlessly between crushing heaviness, infectious melodies, electronic experimentation and moments of striking vulnerability. Rather than settling into a single sound, Banks Arcade use the album to push their identity further, bringing together the raw physicality of metal with the maximalist energy of contemporary alternative music.
