Say Hello to Our New Vocalist! - July 28, 2008
The time has come to introduce Archaic Revival's new lead vocalist, Stefanie Stauffer. Stefanie has been studying classical style since she was in grade school. Look forward to her adding her own style to AR and even throwing some awesome violin licks into the mix. She totally kicked ass in her debut appearance with AR this weekend. Please give her a metal welcome.
And look for pictures of our most recent gig at the Gier Park BMX track in the next couple days.
New Vocalist! - July 25, 2008
Some of you may know, and some of you may not. For those who don't, we'd like to inform you that Alexandria has parted ways with Archaic Revival. She will be pursuing other avenues in music and unfortunately won't be able to focus enough of her energy on AR. We will miss her and wish her the best of luck.
That being said, we'd like to announce the addition of our new lead vocalist. But we're leaving it a surprise! We won't announce who she is until our next show on July 26th at Gier Park BMX Track. Come check out her first performance with Archaic Revival and see her KICK SOME ASS!

MCC: Battle of the Bands and Our New Bassist - April 27, 2008
The show went great! We sounded amazing! Thanks to everyone who caught us there, it was definitely a great time. Unfortunately, we didn't play the type of teenie-bopper music the crowd wanted to hear. But we gained exposure and met some really great contacts. Look for us to play many more shows soon!
We also want to announce our newest bassist, Loomi. He comes from various Detroit bands including the long running Motor City Burgers. We look forward to working with him on our future projects. Everyone give him a warm metal welcome.
