Arcadian Haze are a Grit Pop band whose funky grooves combine rap and hip hop beats with indie rock n roll to create the new sound of working-class Northern England. Singer/songwriter Tye talks us through the background of the band.
What are the origins of the band, how long have you been playing together?
We formed in 2017. Myself (Tye) and Jamie had been in a band together called A.K.A Pipeline and Rosey and Gilby had been together in Gaia so as Tye and Rosey worked together and both needed a band nature took its cause; Nathan who also worked with them had a clear talent for rap so was the natural man to fill the void when we knew that was the route we were going to pursue.

How active are you on social media and where can people connect with you?
If you’re talking to me personally I ain’t active on social media whatsoever, in my eyes, it’s a cancer to the world… if you’re speaking on band terms then yeah we’re active it’s important you interact with fans of your music and keep them interested. You can find us on all the usual platforms Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
