INTERNET PRE-SALE BEGINS FEBRUARY 21;
‘REVENGE’ CD DEBUTS AT #162 ON CMJ ‘TOP 200’ RADIO CHART
The ARCHITECTS’ new album REVENGE–the group’s second effort–is now set for a March 7 release on Anodyne Records and will be available for pre-orders beginning February 21 at select Internet outlets such as Smartpunk.com, Interpunk.com, Punkstop.com, Independentonestop.com, Downloadpunk.com and Amazon.com.
REVENGE is receiving early accolades from the critics. “Recorded in a scant four days, Revenge is a baker’s-dozen kicks square in the ass by the baddest cowboy boots you’ve ever seen,” noted Alternative Press (March 2006), while Kansas City’s The Pitch raved: “The Architects’ raucous new record Revenge reveals the soulful band’s sinister side” (February 2, 2006).
The ARCHITECTS debuted at #162 this past week on the CMJ ‘Top 200’ radio chart. The group has received over 24 official CMJ adds and are currently charting at 28 stations. In addition, the band is now in rotation at over 100 college stations including WSVA (New York), WKDU (Philadelphia), CJAM (Detroit), SFR and WTBU (Boston), WUIC (Chicago), KALX (Berkeley) and WFDU (Teaneck, NJ).
