REVENGE is receiving early accolades from the critics. "Recorded in a scant four days, Revenge is a baker's-dozen kicks square in the ass by the baddest cowboy boots you've ever seen," noted Alternative Press (March 2006), while Kansas City's The Pitch raved: "The Architects' raucous new record Revenge reveals the soulful band's sinister side" (February 2, 2006).

In addition, the band is now in rotation at over 100 college stations including WSVA (New York), WKDU (Philadelphia), CJAM (Detroit), SFR and WTBU (Boston), WUIC (Chicago), KALX (Berkeley) and WFDU (Teaneck, NJ).
