Very much in the vein of a Gin Blossoms styled power pop but instead of being from Arizona, these guys are Texans and they sound it---it`s a great bit of spice to add into this style of rootsy power pop! Archer Avenues sound is hallmarked by huge vocal hooks, 3 part harmonies, deeply personal and catchy lyrics, and superior guitar work in the vein of Ryan Adams, Deathray Davies, Replacements and others. "Alt-country inflected power pop that we`ve heard from fellow Texans like Rhett Miller and the Deathray Davies"
- Absolute Power Pop Blog. "Lots of swagger and attitude, they sing nice
three- and four-part harmonies, and they all play their instruments with panache..." - The Greenman Review. "Much of the time they suggest a more earnest (and less relentlessly clever) Old 97s crossed with the Gin Blossoms... the difference between spirited demos and a polished record."
- The San Antonio Current. "With gritty vocals, tight uncomplicated guitar solos, nice backing harmonies and a slightly Southern tinge, Archer Avenue has created a very refreshing and distinctive sound..." - San Antonio Rocks. ""I don`t understand why a band like this is not ALL OVER alternative rock radio, or even adult alternative radio. I mean, when you have bands like
say, Semisonic, then why not Archer Avenue?"-PunkrockParents. Bottom Line,
Very Highly Recommended!
