In the 90s I shared a distro company with these guys in Australia, I’m a lifelong fan. We missed out on the support slots but whilst in Melbourne at the same time we got a call from the label asking if the Archers could borrow our gear for an invite only daytime in-store. Lol yes. But they made our gear sound incredible, otherworldly professional and just amazing. It was a masterclass, these guys would probably create the same energy on bongos. such a great memory of mine and despite years of tryimg my amp never sounded as good as when Eric played it. The harmonic richness of their collective is really unheralded, at full volume in your face it’s mind blowing.
That is pretty fucking awesome man. I was in chapel Hill in the mid 90s. They were huge. They one of the first punk bands I heard, this kid there I met introduced me to punk rock and these guys were one of the first. Superchunk was another. The 90s was great for rock music and oh fuck I would like my dad talking about 60s rock. Lol
This is awesome. I watched it a couple times and I'm just blown away by the sound they pull off live...its better than the CD version and that never happens.
I graduated from high school in ‘97, having been on our school radio station, playing the Replacements, Husker Du, the Neckbones...good lord, how did I miss these guys the first time around???
This has never been one of my favorite AOL songs, but it’s a popular choice and they are in phenomenal form here. Would’ve preferred Web in Front (duh), White Trash Heroes (duh again), or You and Me + Might, or Density.
Really wished I coulda seen these guys live. Showed up to a crooked fingers show late and they were already packing up the van. Did get to see Superchunk and Jennyanykind though.
I was the one that got bullied off the site after seeing the "I can't sneed" image of the yellow simpsons character crushing george floyd's neck in-between his yellow buttcheeks, with people also telling me I will never be a woman. 41% just became 42%
