Following a highly successful run on the first leg of their tour, Archers are thrilled to announce ‘The Temporary High Tour Pt. II’, a US headline tour, in October 2025, bringing their electrifying live show to even more cities across the country.
The tour will feature special guests Nerv, Of Virtue, and Dead Eyes, making for a stacked lineup of heavy hitters in the modern alternative and hard rock scenes.
The announcement follows the release of Archers’ newest single, “Crooked Smile”, now streaming on all major platforms. The track is taken from the band’s brand-new EP, “Temporary High”, released via SBG Records, and has already begun making waves with fans and press alike.
Produced by acclaimed producer Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Sleeping With Sirens), “Temporary High” captures Archers’ continued evolution, blending crushing breakdowns, atmospheric textures, and emotionally charged lyrics. Purchase “Temporary High” here.

In addition, the band will be hitting the road with Nothing More and Catch Your Breath from mid January through mid March 2026. The nationwide run will introduce Archers’ explosive live show to even more fans as they continue building momentum into the new year.
“We are so excited and genuinely honored to be hitting the road with Nothing More in 2026! Touring with a band of this caliber is not something we take lightly and we are very excited to learn as much as we can from such seasoned vets. It will be such a treat getting to watch the incredible show they put on every night”.
Wisconsin-based band Archers is making serious waves. Formed in 2015 by Ben Koehler (guitar) and Nathanael Pulley (vocals), Archers quickly became known for their raw mix of metalcore and pop-rock, tackling everything from mental health to relationships with a brutally honest edge. With Oscar Porter (bass) and Grayson Mesarosh (drums) rounding out the lineup, the band’s sound has only gotten sharper.
2020’s “New Normal” EP was a game-changer, with its powerful blend of heavy riffs and introspective lyrics drawing comparisons to bands like Dayseeker and Sleep Token. Singles like “Bitter” and “Say This Sober” showcase their ability to balance vulnerability with intensity, earning them a fiercely dedicated fanbase. Archers’ music is a journey of strength and catharsis, turning life’s darkest moments into anthems of resilience.
