Archers of Loaf - "Harnessed in Slums" (6/24/2011)

[@34SideWinder]

Bring back weird, loud rock music. This is just incredible.

[@frankschapmire1471]

Now more than ever.

[@Mathewmatic]

Archers of Loaf have aged like a fine wine.

[@Ad.r0ck416]

Man.. i wish i knew they made a come back in 2011.

[@christyjia8449]

Man, their playing is so incredibly tight here. It's beautiful.

[@fringephoto]

this is the BEST song I've ever heard.

[@frankschapmire1471]

Did you see it here first? It's such a great song.

[@tsurugger3707]

Archers of Loaf have so much more to offer. Don't stop digging.

[@54321FUCKYOU2]

What can you recommend?

[@SloopADoopy]

Rock it out!

[@steveg8102]

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.

[@thestuffthatreally]

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.

[@frankschapmire1471]

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

[@R0T0RGUST]

It amazes me out of all the times I’ve seen them play since about 1994 that the Jimmy Fallon show is where I believe they rocked the hardest

[@lunarvision]

Yeah, they are in great form here. Best classic AOL performance for me was headlining the VANISH festival in Durham NC many years ago.

[@adamsweitzer2136]

Saw them two nights ago and boy o boy do they still got it. Amazing

[@TheAidanodian]

I love the background guitar over the chorus on the record version. Best part of the song imo.

[@jgraham01900]

Amazing, you can feel the energy coming through the screen.

[@LG-lp7cl]

Gentling out here eating the amazing energy like it’s Sunday breakfast

[@djefferson5669]

I saw Archer's many times in the 90's, and this performance gave me goose bumps. They still got it!

[@riotriotupstart1893]

Wow Fantastic! Saw them play Brownies on Ave A in LES NYC in early 90s...epic Memories 🙂

[@davehause8571]

Hot damn guys

Bass player still energetic as ever.

[@TR-yi8up]

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???

[@b.m.8547]

You should get into Polvo as well, in case you missed them. Same pantheon as Archers.

[@TR-yi8up]

B. M. Will give them a listen. Thanks for the recommendation

[@b.m.8547]

T R of course. I hope you enjoy it.

[@TR-yi8up]

@@b.m.8547 already am and am enjoying them. I def remember the name of the album Today's Active Lifestyles

[@b.m.8547]

T R That’s great!

[@TheloniousBosch]

Man I love these guys

[@porlrees]

Saw the Archers with Small 23 in a pub in Nottingham many moons ago....both awesome bands!!

[@wahodges]

Good lord.

[@zero_x93]

Always loved the lead guitar work and tones in this band. Its fresh

[@easytoremember246]

Polvo has a similar tone. Must be something in the Chapel Hill water

[@trenthamilton4240]

There are no words to express how much I love this. Cheers, guys from another OG Chappy

[@aydoganrm3295]

This rocks so hard!

[@GoSolar]

How many times can I like this?

[@pmorton7960]

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.

[@lukehanlon3814]

How good were the spinanes

[@lunarvision]

Jeez, haven’t heard Jennyanykind since seeing their graffiti so many years ago. That’s a super deep cut.

Roll on Oct 21, 2022 when Reason in Decline is released although I'm a little gutted that the late 2022 tour will not include Aotearoa (NZ).

[@lukehanlon3814]

Absolutely smashing it 🤩

[@SightseeMC123]

Wow, super tight! Love this live version!

[@WordsAmpersand]

I am ever reminded how giant a human being Eric Bachmann is.

[@carmangary]

I still remember him as that scrawny guy from the old Cats Cradle days.

[@TR-yi8up]

In every sense of the word

[@1683clifton]

Wtf bro.

[@lunarvision]

As my buddy once said perfectly… He puts the *_oaf_* in _*Loaf*._ 🖤

[@bentotis4629]

I just love how tiny the guitar looks compared to his body.

[@lunarvision]

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.

[@AleDrulla]

Very nice song!

[@Sam-yy6yw]

That guitar looks like a toy in erics hands lol

[@thomaskenneally219]

SO MUCH SHREDDING

These guys and the other under-appreciated rock bands of the 90s make groups like Imagine Dragons and Twenty-One Pilot look like jokes
