## **Coast Arcade – *Cycles***

*Cycles* sees **Coast Arcade** return to the heavier, riff-driven sound of their *City Limits* era — raw, emotionally charged, and fuelled by grit. The track dives into themes of burnout and breaking patterns, with aggressive guitars, urgent vocals, and explosive choruses that showcase the band’s growing confidence. While it still carries their trademark melodic hooks, *Cycles* leans into darker textures and alt-rock bite, offering a bold glimpse of what’s to come on their debut album.
