About the artist

Arkayla is an emerging four-piece Manchester-based indie rock band consisting of Cal Blakebrough (vocals/guitar), Finley Rubens (guitar), Joe Harley (bass), and Dylan Murphy (drums). Known for their high-energy live shows and "whirlwind" sound combining layered guitar tones with gritty, melodic songwriting. Formed around 2020, they have quickly garnered attention from Radio X and BBC Radio for their anthemic sound and sold-out, grassroots Manchester gigs.
