Archie Powell & The Exports Releasing Third LP, Great Ideas In Action, Touring

Archie Powell & The Exports third record, Great Ideas in Action, comes out May 1, 2012. The band is heading out on tour in support—beginning with a record release show in Chicago on April 27.

The band recently played SXSW and released the first single from the new record, Metronome.

 The music is rock n roll you can dance to.  Metronome, for instance, is a catchy track that had me thinking a little of Robyn Hitchcock, maybe Dinosaur Jr. a wee bit too. Hell maybe even some Meat Puppets tossed in there too. The studio tracks sort of make the band seem like a good bet to translate into a good live show so be sure to head out to your local watering hole and see them on this tour.

Hear some for yourself at the band's Bandcamp page.
