HEMLOCK and Continental Touring are proud to announce the release of a brand-new official video for “Crooked Smile,” arriving just in time for the long-awaited vinyl re-release of their landmark album Pigeonholed available on vinyl for the first time ever in celebration of its 25-year anniversary.

Originally produced in 2001 by Mikey Doling (Snot, Soulfly, Channel Zero) in Malibu, California, “Crooked Smile” has returned with renewed intensity, capturing the raw power and chaos that Hemlock has built their legacy on. To honor the anniversary release, the band made the decision to not only press the album on vinyl for the first time, but to also bring the song to life visually with a new performance-driven video.

Filmed and edited by Gearly Beloved Productions, the “Crooked Smile” video pulls footage from two explosive live performances delivering the kind of unfiltered stage energy Hemlock fans know all too well. It’s loud, real, and unapologetic… a celebration of the scars, the survival, and the crooked grin that comes with it.

“Crooked Smile” is more than a song, it’s a rally cry for the misfits and the battle-tested. It’s about taking what’s broken, what healed wrong, and turning it into something ferociously alive.

Wisconsin metalcore powerhouse ARCHERS have just dropped their new single, “Crooked Smile,” now available on all major streaming platforms. The track is taken from their brand-new EP, Temporary High, released today via SBG Records.

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.

In regards to the EP, the band states, "Temporary High is all about finding catharsis. It’s about breaking free from toxic cycles and finding value in oneself apart from anyone or anything that would try to usurp one’s own identity."

“Crooked smile is about finding the courage to break negative cycles. It’s about learning to cut out toxic people from your life and to move forward," says the band about the latest single.

Temporary High is available at:

In addition, the band has shared some huge news! They 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."

The band's EU/UK run kicked off June 10th in Berlin, Germany at Kantine am Berghain. Then in July, they’ll hit the road again—this time headlining a U.S. tour with support from Rivals, Of Virtue, and Dead Eyes.

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.
