Hail Archer is not in danger of drowning in the sea of the newer version of Punk Rock, [which is getting too fucking Pop imo]. A lot of bands are leaning on the crutch of one these two tone types:
-these almost sickeningly lighthearted guitar chords, which cant even really be glorified as guitar "lines", with poppy pulsating drums running underneath
- or heavy distorted "crunch" guitar strumming, and unnecessary double pedals[don't. get me. fucking. started.].
For some reason I've been seeing this band lumped with these types of bands, but they don't fall into either of these categories. On first listen they just sounded like a more melancholy version of Aphasia. However, after a second and third listen this short 6 song record started to define itself. I think Bury This In Texas is just hands down, my favorite song by this band so far. They remind me of Hundred Reasons if they made a punk baby with Chasing Victory. Im not sure who these guys are signed to, but i would be surprised if they weren't on Tooth and Nail, they got that Ivoryline feel. Honestly my interest in Punk Rock as of late, had been a waning one so cheers to Brent from AL, for requesting this.
sounds like: Fiore, Chasing Victory, Ivoryline
bump. [expect an immediate jump]
