Archers of Loaf
 

I just started listening to them, such an awesome band.

the song "Wrong" sounds like your typical shitty 90's wannabe Nirvana/Pearl Jam rock song, but is somehow awesome.

I've been listening to them a fair amount lately as well

They're alright.

"Icky Mettle" is pretty good.

I never listened to them because they had one of the top ten dumbest names I've ever heard. I remember Rob brought up how he liked them, so I looked up a few songs on youtube and I liked what I saw. Anybody want to suggest an album for me to dl?

all the nation's airports is my fav. check that one out for sure.

they are good but i don't listen to them often.

they're rubbish! PURE RUBBISH!

Crappy90spredictablecollegealternashitshitshittymc fuckshit.

that song sounds NOTHING like pearl jam! and very little like Nirvana!

archers of loaf are fucking awesome. I love listening to all the nation's airports while driving around late at night.

"the underground is overcrowded"

They are a fucking awesome band, massive squalls of feedback drenched noise, walls of noise, so beautiful, and they sound LIKE NOTHING ELSE AT THE TIME

VEE VEE is thevery best one




Speed of Cattle is great, Icky Mettle is great.

they ahve a horrible horrible name, but that matters NOT AT ALL

Seconded.

Yeah, fuck them. Shitawful band.

they are pearl jam for people who are too snobby to listen to pearl jam.

You sure are saying this often, whale.

long live the rock!
archers of LOAF rule all!

DON;T LISTEN TO THESE PUSSY FUCKS WHO THINK DAVID BOWIE ROCKS.


one of the greatest live shows ever

the singer was 16 when he started the band, can you imagine that fucking voice coming from a 16 year old? rock!

You're not convincing anyone, mister.

Let's sort this Archers of Loaf NONSENSE out for real

it's ok.
I am not trying to change minds, just to expose some tunes that I love to people who have not heard them yet.

I was about to go into this thread and join the bashing of them being nothing special, but then i decided to click a few of their videos. I'd heard that "web in front" song before and didnt think much of it.

Some of those videos were really good though, never realized they could get noisy like that. I've been inspired to track down Vee Vee now. Thanks for making me give this band another listen.

vee vee is nearly perfect for listening in the car LOUD

the only one I do not like, because it deviated from their sound due to imminent break up, is white trash heroes.

They also have some choice ass EP's

I didnt get into them over the years, since their reissues recently ive come to quite enjoy them

Tune

I was never really into this band aside from a few singles (Web in Front, Harnessed in Slums, etc) but I decided to check out Icky Mettle the other day, and I'm really liking it. I don't know why I never bothered to really investigate them further a long time ago. Eh, better late than never I guess.

That expression could almost have been invented purely for Archers of Loaf.

You big fucking Archers of Loaf-loving-better-late-than-never cunting twat.

I don't get the Pearl Jam comparison.

Seriously, doubleyouteeeff?

Anyway, Icky Mettle was an old favorite of mine from my "Oh My God Slanted and Enchanted is The Greatest Thing Ever!!!" period. Now I don't really have any interest in them, after spending the past decade and a half uncovering much MUCH better bands from the same basic category.

I guess by that logic I should be bored by Pavement and GbV now too.... but I'm not. I'm just not in that "stuck-a-pin-in-yr-backbone" frame of mind anymore.

Icky Mettle is decent enough in a "We really like Pavement and Superchunk" sort of way, but I think they got to be really good with VS The Greatest Of All Time EP and ESPECIALLY Vee Vee. They went from a Pavement/Superchunk band to a Pavement/Polvo band, but if you're going to rip off bands those are pretty choice bands to rip off.
