Attic rock
A few years back, a collective of four close friends rallied together in a Northport, NY, attic, wrote a bunch of songs, hopped in a renovated school bus, and brought their music right to the people. Attracting a cult following, ARCY DRIVE’s signature brand of “attic rock” has resonated with fans and tastemakers alike, yielding nearly 100 million cumulative streams, amassing a combined following of 590K-plus on social media, and packing endless sold-out shows.
The four-piece band—Nick Mateyunas, Austin Jones, Patrick Helrigel, and Brooke Tuozzo—have naturally evolved across a series of independent releases, including the live album Attic Sessions [2022], the Beach Plum EP [2023], and their first full-length offering The Pit [2025].
Emerging as a force of nature on stage, the group impressively sold out their 2025 North American headline run, The Pit Tour Pt. 1, graced the bills of festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands, and even shut down Los Angeles’s Venice Boardwalk with a pop-up show in front of 1k-plus fans.
At this year’s Out of the Blue Festival, they hit the stage with Noah Kahan, Mumford, and Caamp—appearing four times in total throughout the day. Between launching The Pit Tour Pt. 2 in the United States and preparing for major festivals, including Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Borderland, Highwater, Rolling Stone’s Stateside Festival, Austin City Limits, and more, the band now makes their Atlantic Records debut with the release of “one’n a million” and more to come.
