JOY Presents:

TREEBOY & ARC

Post-Punk based in Leeds, UK. Treeboy & Arc was formed in Leeds in 2016. Early on, the band took sonic influences from the likes of Pre-Occupations, Protomartyr, Televison & Ought amongst others. However, their main influences came from their surroundings. From the previous sounds of Leeds such as Gang Of Four or Delta 5, but also from its architecture, construction and residents. It’s red-brick terraced housing on one side of the city and bleak grey warehouses on the other, it’s cold and bitter winds and all the friendly faces and warming people that accompany these scenes. A desire to musically describe life growing up in the North assisted Treeboy & Arc in creating their tones, their lyrics, songs, sound and appearance.

Since 2018 the band have shared stages with the likes of Parquet Courts, Shame, Ulrika Spacek & Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, whilst slowly gaining the love of the locals, selling out hometown shows alongside shows all around the UK.
