Met Lounge date for Huntingdon rockers - and this week's listings

Hailing from Huntingdon, R.J. Archer & the Painful Memories have been steadily building momentum since their third album “The Cost of Loving Crisis” - receiving lots of airplay on radio stations like Total Rock, Rock Radio UK, Emerging Rock Bands, and Amazing Radio; and critical comparisons being drawn to everyone from MC5 to UFO to Dr.Feelgood!

A single from the album, 'Out of Line' was selected from thousands of submissions to compete in the Kerrang! and Marshall-sponsored competition 'The Deal'. Live shows with cult rock bands like Slady and Gypsy’s Kiss plus numerous festival appearances, have earned them their reputation as a band to look out for.

Their Met Lounge set on May 22 will be a celebration for their new single “Villains Like Glamour”, released on the same day. The single is from their forthcoming fourth album “Infernow” their most powerful set of songs yet.
