The record
Title: Archers Of Loaf - Icky Mettle
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1993, Alternative, Indie Rock, Chapel Hill, North Carolina 6/26
Condition: New (BC) | Members: N/A
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: Archers Of Loaf came out of low-money college-town life, where touring meant cramped vans, unstable work, and turning frustration into survival noise.
-
Scene Ecology: Icky Mettle helped define Chapel Hill indie rock, linking Merge-era DIY culture, college radio, basement shows, and jagged guitar damage.
-
Media Narrative: The band became a 90s anti-rock-star case study: too sharp for slacker comfort, too weird for major-label polish, and better because of it.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
