ARCHIE AND THE BUNKERS is Emmett on (drums/vocals) and Cullen (organ/vocals). Formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 2013, the teenaged brothers began recording music in their basement, self-producing their first two EPs with a raw garage-punk sound that draws heavily from their diverse musical influences, ranging from jazz organ greats like Jimmy Smith, to punk icons Dead Boys ,The Stooges, The Screamers, The Damned, and more. Rock'n'roll that's been peeled back to its raw foundation', as Emmett describes it. Having played a number of high profile gigs in the USA, including support to The Sonics at the Beachland Ballroom in their home town, these kids are scorching hot and ready to break out, not just out of Cleveland, but internationally. A tour of Europe in the spring of this year saw them pick up new fans at sell out gigs and a second European trip is already being planned. ¶hey have no pretention, no inhibition. They are just having so much fun with the music. They are mind-blowing players. And such nice kids.
