Chapel Hill quartet setting Eric Bachmann's shredded bark against skewed, discordant guitars on Icky Mettle. 'Web in Front' remains their signature.

About Archers of Loaf
Archers of Loaf formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, in 1991, with Eric Bachmann on vocals and guitar, Eric Johnson on guitar, Matt Gentling on bass and Mark Price on drums. Icky Mettle (1993), released on Alias, set Bachmann's hoarse shouting over guitars that clash and fall out of tune on purpose, and became a touchstone for 90s indie rock.
Vee Vee (1995), All the Nation's Airports (1996) and White Trash Heroes (1998) moved into stranger, more textured territory before the band split in 1998, with Bachmann going on to Crooked Fingers. The original lineup reunited in 2011 and released a new album, Reason in Decline, on Merge in 2022.
