Archie and The Bunkers is the Cleveland-based duo of\u00a0Emmett and Cullen O’Connor, brothers who have been playing music together for as long as they can remember. With Cullen on organ and Emmett on drums, they play “hi-fi organ punk” and have made a big splash since forming in 2013, sharing stages with everyone from\u00a0Iggy Pop and The Sonics to Echo and the Bunnymen, Black Lips, and Thee Oh Sees and releasing music on Norton, In The Red, and Jack White’s\u00a0Third Man Records.<\/p>\n
They’ve shared a cover by one of their biggest influences, LA synth-punk band The Screamers. Dangerous Minds<\/u> caught up with the O’Connors to chat about their journey — which started when they were just thirteen and fifteen years old — and their new album, ‘Songs From The Lodge,’ due out next week via Dirty Water Records. You can read the piece (which also includes anecdotes from\u00a0former Cramps member Nick Knox & Norton Records founder\u00a0Miriam Linna) here<\/a>, and stream the duo’s take on 122 Hours of Fear via SoundCloud below.<\/p>\n
