About Me

Archer Avenue is a rock n’ roll band from San Antonio, TX whose music has been compared to a cross between “the Gin Blossoms and the Old 97’s” (San Antonio Current). A mix of pop, rock, indie, and a hint of alternative country, Archer Avenue’s sound is hallmarked by huge vocal hooks, 3 part harmonies, deeply personal and catchy lyrics, and superior guitar work in the vein of Ryan Adams, Deathray Davies, and much more. The band's latest effort "We Watched the Headlights, We Watched the Stars" (produced by Pete Anderson, Tony Rambo, and Sally Browder) has garnished critical acclaim worldwide, featuring nine original tracks as well as a cover of Roky Erickson’s “You’re Gonna Miss Me.” Headlights comfortably incorporates a wide range of styles and influences, showcasing the band’s diverse yet cohesive of “Texas Rock” sound.
Archer Avenue debut full length LP "We Watched the Headlights; We Watched the Stars" (produced by Pete Anderson, Tony Rambo, and Sally Browder) is available in retail stores across the world courtesy of That Phantom Sound Records/Burnside Distribution Corporation. The album is serviced to all national chains and one-stop record stores in the United States and Europe, as well as on-line at Amazon.com, Bestbuy.com, Borders.com, and iTunes/Napster.
Songs from We Watched the Headlights; We Watched the Stars" were played on MTV's Real World Awards Bash (April 2008).
