R.J. Archer & the Painful Memories were formed in 2019 when Richard Archer (guitar, vocals) received a competition prize of some studio time and recruited long-term friends Roger James (bass), Ben Kingsbury (guitar) and Marc Ritchie (drums) to help him out. The results were so good, they decided to carry on!!
Two albums down the road (‘Hot Mess’ in 2021 and ‘Horseplay!’ in 2023) and critical comparisons have been drawn to everyone from MC5 to Grand Funk Railroad to Dr. Feelgood. With acclaimed sets at the Cambridge Salty Dog Festival and Buckfest, plus support slots with cult rock bands like Slady and Gypsys Kiss they’ve earned a reputation as a killer live act too.
With their recently released singles “Get It Together” and “Out of Line” gathering airplay on rock radio stations such as Total Rock, Rock Radio UK and ERB, it’s time to get excited for their new album “The Cost of Loving Crisis” due for release on January 31, 2025, on all major platforms.
