9 Things We Learned From Architects’ Instagram Takeover Yesterday

1. The boys are no strangers to a good old cuddle. 

 

Hello world! It's Architects here in Birmingham. Here's Sam and Ali post load in. 'Lets tour without techs' they said. Our backs hurt. We're playing The Institute tonight. Crowds are always great here ��

We want to squeeze ourselves in the middle of that. Please.

2. They're advocates for breakfast being the most important meal of the day.

Toast 'n stuff. 

3. Their photographer Joshua Haling took some pretty badass shots of them.

How majestic does that huge 'A' look? *Sheds a proud tear*

4. The view drummer Dan Searle gets from the stage is pretty rad. 

 

View from the other side. I spy Andy Williams in an Aston Villa shirt. Legend.

And suddenly, a wild Andy Williams appears.  

5. They're great friends with Everytime I Die. Andy's a Villa fan, apparently?

6. The deluxe edition of 'Hollow Crown' can now be bought at all good HMVs nationwide.

 7. Architects newest addition and guitarist Adam Christianson looks like he's fitting right in.

8. Architects are not too metal for mojitos with tiny umbrellas.
