Artist Overview
UK modern prog collective Archive have released 12 studio albums in their almost 30-year career. Since their formation in Croydon, South London in 1994 Archive have operated as masters of their own destiny, eschewing prevailing trends for a more unique musical blend of their own. Founding members Darius Keeler and Danny Griffiths joined forces with South London rapper Rosko John , and Iranian-born singer Roya Arab for 1996's trip-hop tinged and critically acclaimed debut album 'Londinium. Various line-up changes over the years saw Keeler and Griffiths deciding to retire the idea of the “lead singer” in favor of a more flexible collective approach. Archive have headlined festivals throughout Europe and grown to be one of the UK's biggest live exports to the continent in the process.
