Archer was previously in Stampede, who recorded 2 albums for Polydor Records: 'The Official Bootleg' and 'Hurricane Town'. Before that, Archer was in Lautrec with his stepfather, singer Reuben Archer.

Stampede reformed in 2009 in the wake of renewed interest and the CD re-issues of both 'The Official Bootleg' and 'Hurricane Town' via UK-based Rock Candy Records and Universal Music in Japan. The line-up consisted of original members Laurence Archer, Reuben Archer, and Colin Bond, with Steve Graystone replacing Eddie Parsons on drums, and new guitarist Chris Clowsley.

In 2011, Archer also began playing in the band X-UFO, alongside fellow former members of UFO, Danny Peyronel and Clive Edwards, with Rocky Newton (ex-Michael Schenker Group) on bass.
