Arcy Drive's 'Attic Rock' Blends Emo and Garage Rock, Propelling Long Island Band to Festival Fame
By
Josh Crutchmer
Summary
Arcy Drive, a four-piece band from Long Island, has coined the term "attic rock" to describe their blend of angsty emo and classic garage rock. Frontman Nick Mateyunas explains the metaphor as representing something unfinished yet valuable that sticks around. In just over five years, the band has evolved from a casual hobby among friends to being discussed as a potential next big thing in rock music, with festival appearances and songs like 'Roll My Stone' and 'Louie' gaining traction.

That's what we are.
