About Archer 
 
Archer is as good an example as any to approach the theory of the commodity instead of the majority. A proven longevity, loyal audience following and that ever presence of tasteful rock. Archer has an ongoing promotional campaign of original material in which great time and effort are focused. The band was originally formed in 1983 by Steve Lewis. In 1992, Archer released their debut album which was a success both in sales and on local air play in the Greater Cincinnati Area. Beginning in 2002, Archer underwent a transformation of members leaving only it's original founder unshaken and unscaved. Archer, with it's new and dynamic line-up is currently in the studio finalizing the details of the second album which is due for release in a matter of weeks. Archer continues to evolve building upon the music they believe in. From what I can see, Archer is a band which has managed to survive as the rock scene changes. All the while keeping their loyal fan base and the will to color outside the lines of Rock. Archer's plan is simple, good, straight forward rock with projected future achievments. Archer is set for a lengthy stay in the music scene. So... check out a genuinely expressive rock group on the move!
