Crooked Fingers

Crooked Fingers is the solo project of singer/guitarist Eric Bachmann, best known as the longtime frontman for North Carolina indie rock institution Archers of Loaf. Bachmann frames his rich storytelling, rooted in heartland struggle and romantic outlaw imagery, with immersive Americana-laced alt-rock, as heard on notable efforts such as Red Devil Dawn (2003) and Breaks in the Armor (2011). After a long hiatus, Bachmann returned to the project in 2026 and released Swet Deth.
