Behold.... The influence of jangle-pop becomes ye. My love of all things dark and crazy rock & roll produces. This would be one of them. All-time top jangle-pop album for sure. Thanks ARCHERS for showing us pop-rock is really rock.
A great bunch of cool guys, especially Mark Price and Matt(damn, what was his last name?). I used to work at a bike shop with them in Chapel Hill/Carrboro, NC. I think Mark is still made at me for changing his middle name to the nickname of "Down", hence Mark "Down" Price. I haven't seen them for years, I'd like to catch up with them.
@Rabbitfalls AV Fest, Chicago. Sept. 10-11. Free ($10 suggested donation) all ages show. They're headlining on Sunday. Bunch of other great bands going to be there too.
Every song from this super great EP must be listened to at least twice in a row because there is no way one listen can satisfy, they are just too short.
This is the first Archers of Loaf song I ever heard. I've listened to this song hundreds of times. I remember where I was the first time I heard it. Great song! Come back guys!!!
@RalphusXL Well, not really exactly like Archers of Loaf, but some other bands I like are Yo La Tengo, Guided by Voices, Fugazi, Velvet Underground, Built to Spill, and Sonic Youth.
p-p-pavement, polvo. Getting historical & to the roots replacements, kinks, mission of burma, nation of ulysses, the milkmen, descendants, black flag, just mad classic punk. i'm new to this myself. youtube is your friend though.
Saw these guys live at the Cog Factory over a decade ago; definitely was a great show. Although I don't doubt that it's unlikely, if they did do a reunion tour, I'd be all over it even if I had to travel.
Where the hell can I get originals of these guys??? I can't even get torrents of em! These guys are one of my fav bands and can't seem to find their shit anywhere...please help!
love the Archers, Bachman is a genius; i remember thinking way back when that they were the first band I knew that seemed to be influenced by Pavement
Ah this brings back memories... I was the director of photography on this video. 8 borrowed video cameras, 200 feet of 16mm film and shot on a budget of less than $500 in about 4 hours.
best song of theirs, for sure...i remember seeing them in 94 or so, and screaming for this one until they played it. or maybe it was "what did you expect"...
I caught on to these guys in '95, DJing at Concordia University in Montreal - Underachievers made our playlist. I'd never heard anything that brave and whimsical and rocking all at the same time. Wish I could've seen them live. I think the Arcade Fire might have been listening...
Still love them, and fuck you kid I was cool once, this proves it. Ha!

Eric (not the singer) played a bit for me today. Amazing after the time apart.
But after my dad made a comment about them getting back together for a tour he said he highly doubts that.
He's my cousin, but i would love to see them live.
