About Hail Archer
Hail Archer was an experimental post-hardcore band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Ex-Hopesfall member Andy Balfour and his brother Adam have united to form Hail Archer. Starting out as Forth Effect, these guys have been at it for years working the scene in Wisconsin. With their atmospheric soundscapes, raw vocals and dueling guitars, no one member will be snaring the spotlight. Fans of The Receiving End Of Sirens, Circa Survive, and As Cities Burn have been taking notice of Hail Archer. Hail Archer blends qualities of unbridled attitude and aggressiveness with blistering and beautiful atmospherics to create a sonic landscape of raw feeling and energy. Since their inception in early 2008 the band has already heralded accolades such as; being named one of the Top 8 Unsigned Bands by Alternative Press Magazine, being voted in as one of the Hometown Heroes in Alternative Press Magazine, being featured as one of the bands to be "Big in 2009" by Crescendo Magazine, winning the Emerging Artists Series at the world's largest music festival, Summerfest 2008, by winning spots on Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos, and being featured on countless internet/broadcast radio stations. The band has been touring and playing shows relentlessly and have no intentions of slowing down. "Each of their songs are progressive, intricate anthems with the urgency of Circa Survive and the epic nature of Vheissu-era Thrice." -Alternative Press "Hail Archer has some serious talent. . .they've pegged themselves pretty well for a younger band." -AbsolutePunk.net ". . .it’s a gemstone that features unbridled attitude and aggression peppered with pleasant atmospherics and a refreshing (as opposed to whiny) take on negative experience." -Currents Mag "With exceptionally strong, atmospheric, clever word-play, Hail Archer is an inspired sound that pushes musical boundaries." -The Journal Sentinel Members: Brian Tombari - Vocals Adam Balfour - Guitar Andrew Balfour - Guitar Evan Menzer - Bass/Vocals Jon Kraft - Drums Matt Wirnsberger - Drums
