THE ARCHITECTS hit the road in early 2010 with Flogging Molly, Frank Turner!!

THE ARCHITECTS
Pound the Pavement THE HARD WAY
On The GREEN 17 TOUR with FLOGGING MOLLY & FRANK TURNER



Kansas City, MO – After spending their entire Summer on the Vans Warped Tour, The Phillips brothers - Brandon, Zach, Adam - and their best friend Keenan, otherwise known as THE ARCHITECTS are packing their bags again for another cross country trek in support of their fourth album THE HARD WAY (Skeleton Crew). This time, the boys will be touring with Flogging Molly and Frank Turner (tour dates below).

Produced, mixed, and engineered by KC’s own Aaron Conner (Cher, 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G.), The Hard Way is drawn from the deep lyrical pools of songsmiths like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Tom Petty, while the roaring, crashing sonic inspiration comes from the likes of The Clash, AC/DC, The Replacements and The Who. “We are still our father’s sons with respect to our heroes,” says singer/songwriter and eldest brother Brandon describing the evolution of The Architects sound and the creation of The Hard Way. Still stubbornly free of gimmicks, costumes and celebreality bullshit, The Architects are all piss and vinegar and good tunes, delivered with guts and authenticity…just as it should be.
