"On their second full length album, Archie And The Bunkers have pushed their raw frenzied brand of organ punk to the max and produced a cracking eleven tracks that make you want to smash it up and not look back. Step into their world if you dare." -Louder Than War Magazine
"In fact, to me it sounds like a couple punk kids were inspired by the oompah band from the Jimmy Kimmel/Adam Carolla incarnation of The Man Show. Like I said, they're an insane amount of fun." -If It's Too Loud
"We waren al fan van Archie and the Bunkers, de twee piepjonge broertjes Emmett en Cullen O’Connor uit Cleveland, Ohio. Onder andere vanwege een mooie show vorig jaar in Vera. Nu zijn ze terechtgekomen bij Norton en is hun 7” de eerste release op dat label sinds het trieste overlijden van Billy Miller. En het is een geweldige single! Een soort van ballade met mooi orgel van een dikke vier minuten met aan het eind ergens een prachtig orgelsolootje ook nog." -Elpee Groningen
"If you are into synth punk, you will be into this. Taking the sheer mania from The Screamers and the cold 1984-esque synths from The Units, this brother duo kicks out some chaotic clashing." -punknews.org
"Med trumaction inleder de denna orgelrökare som likt en smash fångar vårt intresse utan att kolla eller veta vad det är men garagegrymt är det." -Freak Magnet
"The organ is just dank and putrid and oh so delectable. It’s so very entertaining. And with the combination of raw drums and percussions just makes our concurrent and petulant attitudes, melt away to a better and fun place." -comeherefloyd.com
"I’m fairly confident in saying that A&TB is the best punk band to crawl out of Cleveland since The Pagans, and they’ll be alive and well and stabbing their synthesizers with steak knives after we’re all dead, which is a comforting thought." -Sleazegrinder Forever
"This smoldering rocker has the swagger of classic garage-punk as James Brown or Screamin’ Jay Hawkins would do it. The teenage brothers were signed to Norton Records after label chief Miriam Linna heard Cullen O'Connor playing “Whiter Shade of Pale” on an antique pump organ at 3 a.m. inside a Cleveland castle said to be the most haunted house in Ohio. It only makes sense, then, that the single would begin with the haunting sound of Cullen playing triplets on a “hi-fi organ,” as he calls it. Then, he doubles down on that same rhythm on piano while his brother Emmett reinforces everything that’s cool about this record with a beat so badass, you can almost picture Robert Mitchum staring at a lifeless body as he lights another cigarette. It’s all a perfect backdrop to a song about a broken heart that’s left poor Cullen pleading, “I’m lonely / Please help me / I have nowhere to go.”" - azcentral.com
"Although newcomers to some extent, the results are electric and positively explosive, some say reminiscent of The Cramps, The Hentchmen, Billy Childish – every incarnation of top-notch rock you can imagine. It’s rare to take an organ and make it the centerpiece of a rock ‘n’ roll band and have it make so much sense. Clearly musicians to keep your eyes on for years to come." -Third Man Records
"They have recorded for Third Man (USA) and Dirty Water (UK) and have now come home to Norton Records with their most captivating sides to date. All of their influences have resulted in these riveting original comps." -Norton Records
"So proud to have my favorite drummer Emmett and my favorite organ grinder Cullen aboard at Norton. So positively certain that Billy [Miller] would have flipped big time over this single." -Miriam Linna (Cramps, A-Bones, Zantees, Norton Records co-founder)
"While most teenagers spend troubled years looking for their identities, Cullen and Emmett have always known who they were, swimming in the same musical pool since childhood--" -U Turn Touring
"The drummer doesn't maintain continuous tempo. Worst version of 'Out of Limits' I have ever heard. This is definitely a low talent garage band. I wouldn't pay to see them." -John Jerd (a total SQUARE)
-Alternative Press
“This snotty Ohio sibling duo are a half Damned-half Animals rock'n'roll mongrel. Sixteen-year-old singer/frontman Emmett could be a Jack White in-the-making.” -Classic Rock Magazine, UK
“Time to check in on that hotbed of punk, northeast Ohio (shut your mouth). The latest rust belt roustabouts are a keyboard and drums-only trash act that Ohio’s underground punk lovers are spazzing about (though that could be the trucker speed)—ladies and gentlemen, Archie And The Bunkers!” -Eric Davidson, New Bomb Turks/CMJ Magazine
"Armed with a four-piece kit and an organ that’s pushed hard and to the front-and-centre of their sound, they’re pure energy that overrides any marketer’s thirst for an angle. The elevator’s about to leave. You might want to get in now while it's at the ground floor." The I-94 Bar, Australia
"One of my new fave bands, first two boys I would even consider as future son in laws!!!!" -King Khan, Germany
“Considering there is just two of them, my God, they make a racket and it’s not simply style over substance either...this is an exceptionally strong album and one that isn’t samey or tired at all. Sure it's retro but fuck me it’s good. Nice one gents - go straight to the top of the class and skip off school, you’ve passed!”
-Dom Daley, Uber Rock, UK
“A charming talented couple of guys who make Cleveland proud!” -Ginger Coyote, Punk globe Magazine
"Nos situamos en Cleveland, Ohio, para disfrutar del rock garajero de alma trashy articulado por Emmet y Cullen, dos imberbes chavalines que por las fotos creo no equivocarme al decir que no pasan de la veintena, a los cuales tan solo les hace falta una batería (Emmet) y un órgano (Cullen) para montar la fiesta más contorsionista, colorista y desfasada del año con su debut autotitulado para Dirty Water Records. Sin duda uno de los mejores y más originales estrenos de este año." -Píldoras Musicales
"This year’s big reveal was Archie and the Bunkers, a pair of brothers from Ohio who channeled Quintron and The Damned in a frenzied half-hour set." -Memphis Flyer
“If you closed your eyes and listened to Cleveland organ/drums duo Archie & the Bunkers, you’d never guess they were as young as they are. You’d expect to open your eyes and see a bunch of gray-haired geezers trying to squeeze one last tour out of that legendary garage-rock hit they had in the ’60s.” -Cool Cleveland
“When Emmett sings, his growl would make the late great Cramps frontman, Lux Interior proud while Cullen’s spasmodic organ playing gives the crowd the green light to thrash and dance.” -Judie Vegh, Midwest Action!
“These kids are damn good, and I know plenty about bands that have only two members. Rumor has it, an Obnox show was part of their homeschooling music unit. One thing I know is these two are wise beyond their years, respectful and classy.” -Bim Thomas, Obnox/Blaxx/X_X
“Very, very rarely is one of my favorite albums of the year released as late as November. I mean, it happens ... just not all that often. Usually, I need some time to digest a new album, especially if it’s a band’s first proper full-length. So let me just say outright that a couple of teenage brothers from Cleveland made one of the best records of 2015.” -Jon E. Lynch, The Durango Herald

"Brothers Emmett (drums/vocals) and Cullen O’Connor (keys/vocals) aren’t old enough to drive their own tour van, and still, own the rawest rock sound in town. Imagine how a young Jack White howled in the White Stripes. Go even further back to the ’70s punk rock explosion when loud and fast became a way of life. These brothers earned their reputation and that word of mouth spread all the way to England, where Dirty Water records will be releasing their new LP." -iRockCleveland
Casbah Records Interviews A&TB, France
"Les références éclectiques des Archie and the Bunkers ne font aucun doute puisqu'ils nous baladent d'ambiance digne des Doors (Sally Lou ou Austria) en passant par des titres ultra-punk (Lady on RKO, I wish I could) sans oublier quelques incursions dans l'horror song quasi rockab dont je me serait bien passé (I'm not really sure what i gonna do, Trade Winds)." - Casbah Records, France
"Da hat uns Marty McFly aber direkt in die 60er befördert. Archie & The Bunkers versprühen den Charme des originalen Garage-Sounds. Lo-Fi-Sound mit viel Orgel-Mood. Schräg, dafür unbestechlich cool!" -Negative White, Germany
Archie and The Bunkers Album Review - La Grosse Radio, France
Merde, la vache, il claque ce disque ! -Voix De Garage, France
"Its flavors are often recognizable, and influences open but with the instinctive unfussy yet intricate invention of the brothers, it is a proposition like no other." -The Ring Master
"La loro musica si annoda esplicitamente a quella tradizione un po’ folle fornendo, in questa estrema sintesi di tastiera e batteria, una scorciatoia malata per penetrare nel cuore impavido del punk attraverso un suono garage vorticoso..." -Reverend Lys, Italy
