Archie and the Bunkers - Songs From The Lodge |

Straight from the city of Cleveland Ohio -the home of The Electric Eels, The Pagans, The Dead Boys, Pere Ubu, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and many more- comes the newest sensation in Rock n Roll. Brothers Emmett and Cullen are taking the world by storm, bringing audiences nothing but the wildest rock music of the 21st century. This new sound will make you want to shake and smash things up. It is RAW POWER, by teenagers, for anyone who will listen. This is the real deal. This is HI-FI Organ Punk! Archie and The Bunkers consists of brothers Emmett (drums/vocals) and Cullen O'Connor (organ/vocals). The pair began recording music in their basement as young teenagers self-producing their first 2 EPs (Comrade X in 2013, and Trade Winds in 2014.) The band's raw garage-punk sound draws heavily from their melding of divergent musical styles. Influences range from jazz organ greats like Jimmy Smith, and Richard Groove Holmes, to punk icons Dead Boys, The Stooges, The Screamers, and more. On stage, the siblings attack their songs with an energy that whips the audience into a frenzy. The unique growl of Cullen's whirring, overdriven organ and the driving beat of Emmett's 4-piece drum kit, leave concert-goers in shock at the sonic assault levied by only two. 2015 marked the release of their first full-length album on Dirty Water Records.It's 12 songs were recorded at the storied Ghetto Recorders in Detroit. It was here that legendary producer/engineer Jim Diamond captured the unique A&TB sound that's been dubbed "HI-FI Organ Punk". Emmett describes the duo's sound as, rock n roll that's been peeled back to it's raw foundation. Since then, the boys have embarked on two European tours, recorded four singles, two EPs, and a brand new LP on the way for 2018 on Dirty Water Records. The Bunkers have also worked with some of the greatest labels in the biz, including Norton Records, In The Red, and Jack White's infamous Third Man Records.
