On Wednesday (April 9), Architects<\/a> frontman Sam Carter<\/a> joined Loudwire Nights<\/em><\/a> to celebrate his band’s latest album, The Sky, the Earth & All Between<\/em><\/a>. Listen to the full conversation in the player near the end of this article.<\/p>\n “It feels amazing,” Carter told host Chuck Armstrong<\/a> about having the new record out in the world. Architects recently wrapped up a tour in Europe and he said the new music connected with fans in really powerful ways.<\/p>\n “I think it’s crazy for us, for our 11th album and it was our most successful first week ever. I don’t know, many people can’t say that on their 11th album and we’re sort of like taking everything in.”<\/p>\n Carter said when you’ve done something for so long, you can’t take anything for granted because you know what the highs are like \u2014 but you also know what the lows are like.<\/p>\n “I feel like a little kid. I’m just having so much fun…in a touring band and recording music and it’s still, you know, still pinch me moments. It’s unbelievable.”<\/p>\n Following the release of The Sky, the Earth & All Between<\/em>, Architects have announced plans for a proper tour across America<\/a> in support of it \u2014 something Carter is looking forward to.<\/p>\n Though, touring the States wasn’t always something Carter enjoyed.<\/p>\n “When I was growing up, I just hated everything,” he admitted, particularly about touring the U.S. But he said the last time Architects came through, he decided to have a complete shift in his attitude.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Architects’ Sam Carter \u2014 My 5 Favorite Albums When I Was a Teenager<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n “I was like, I’m just going to lean into wherever we are. I’m just going to experience the culture, experience the people. No judgment on anything, wherever we are, I’m just going to enjoy it.”<\/p>\n That led to Carter shooting guns in Vegas and doing his best cowboy impression in El Paso.<\/p>\n “I loved it so much … It was the first time, I would just get up, go get a coffee, find a record store or just walk around the towns. Each state just has so much heart and character and soul and it was so cool to take it in. I’m excited to get back.”<\/p>\n Sam Carter\u00a0joined\u00a0<\/em>Loudwire Nights on Wednesday, April 9;\u00a0the show replays online here<\/a>, and you can tune in live every weeknight at 7PM ET<\/a> or on the Loudwire app<\/a>; you can also see if the show is available on your local radio station<\/a>\u00a0and listen to interviews on-demand<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The bands that are touring in 2025, who is opening and how to get tickets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Lauryn Schaffner<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Loudwire](\"https:\/\/townsquare.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/loudwire.png?w=100\")
