The Provincial Archive

The Provincial Archive is an indie-something power-trio from Edmonton, AB that has pretty much been killing it since 2009...

TPA started quiet and got loud over the last decade-and-a-bit, and we really haven’t thought much about quitting or anything… Some of the words that we’ve written in our own bio over the last-forever have been “messy guitars”, “fuzzy vocal hooks” and “1994-1996”. In the earlier times we also used words like “haphazard folk orchestra”. So, for better or worse, that about sums it up musically. But all of that stuff is just kind of dumb, because doesn’t your body replace itself every 7 years? Our new songs are always the best and we like to play them. We hope you’ll come hang with us sometime.

Respectfully yours,
