North Carolina's Archers of Loaf are one of the best bands to come out of the alternative-rock explosion of the 1990s.
A noisy, guitar-driven group with witty, sarcastic lyrics, the Archers were often compared to indie-rock stalwarts Pavement, the Replacements and Sonic Youth.
The band broke up in 1998, and singer Eric Bachmann went on to record several albums of folk-rock as Crooked Fingers, including 2011's "Breaks in the Armor."
Then last year, the Archers suddenly came back, launching a reunion tour as their albums got the deluxe reissue treatment from Merge Records.
