THE ARCHITECTS
Announce Tour With Burning Brides, Bellrays
Third Album Vice Out May 13th!
KANSAS
CITY, MO - Anodyne
recording artists THE ARCHITECTS have always had
the perfect recipe for rib-sticking rock, and now they're preparing
to baste audiences on a coast-to-coast tour with Burning
Brides and The Bellrays in support of the
third album VICE (release date: May 13,
2008). The national tour kicks off on May 14th in Aspen, CO (more
dates to be added).
Following up to their critically-hailed releases, 2004’s Keys to the Building and 2006’s Revenge, The Architects return with a meaty blend of heart-throbbing drums, fist-pumping guitars, and gut wrenched vocals. Undoubtedly a result of the familial connection between the three Phillips brothers - Brandon, Zach on bass and Adam on drums with childhood friend Keenan Nichols on lead guitar, the album flows effortlessly like dinner conversation at a family reunion. Seated behind the console was Kansas City’s own Aaron Connor (2Pac, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Old Dirty Bastard).
Borne years ago from the ashes of
seminal ska/punk upstarts Gadjits, The
Architects are all grown up now, but that doesn't mean
they've matured or tempered their sound. This is the sound of a band
whose foundation is firmly planted in the rebellious word of rock.
Brandon sums up The Architects
perfectly in saying, "Here comes an unpretentious, salt-of-the-earth
rock band playing rock and punk songs into a scrum of glammed-up
bands, screaming self-absorbed diary entries into their Pro
Tools LE systems and quasi-artsy mumblers feverishly
masturbating the back catalog of the Beatles for one last on-camera
money shot. Now tell me how it is that we don't come out of this
smelling like roses?" Nuff said.
