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."
