I was asking if the demos are available on CD?
― ksh, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 17:09 (fourteen years ago) link
They are not. Originally out on tape (as was the 1st album demos) and now on vinyl. I assume the 1st album demos will get a vinyl release at some point.

You missed the glory days of tape trading and mixtapes didn't you?

And an 8-track player!

Can't wait for the Torche pre-first album demos to be released on phonograph cylinder!

Had a tape player. And a mini cassette recorder. That was about it for pre-CD technology. \)^o^)/

Surprised by my dislike for this EP - really liked Meanderthal, but this seems pointless and drab.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 21:02 (thirteen years ago) link
there's this piercing sound in "Out Again" and pretty much every time I heard it today I had to take off my headphones because I thought some alarm was going off
― markers, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 23:54 (thirteen years ago) link
oohhhhh shhittttt it's 7:54 PM, clearly my alarm must be going off!
Didn't find this today, will have to try again later this week. Damn me and my physical media demanding ways.

i like this band for being a better version of the foo figthers songs i like
― my balls and my nerds (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 23 September 2010 15:31 (thirteen years ago) link
This thing is great, love it from front-to-back. Could do without seeing the Foo Fighters pop up in nearly every Torche discussion though. Sure, there was a time when that kinda fit, but I don't hear anything on this one that sounds even remotely like them. Not calling anyone in this thread out solely, I've also seen this in quite a few reviews of this.

i really like the long jam at the end of "out again." am i wrong, or is this as blissed out and joyful as torche has ever been?
― mte, Thursday, 23 September 2010 18:46 (thirteen years ago) link
well see i think it does sound a lot like the foo fighters and i've never even really read anything about these guys it just struck me that way.
― my balls and my nerds (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 23 September 2010 19:24 (thirteen years ago) link
also the foo fighters are a pretty good band at the end of the day

foo fighters have some solid singles
― markers, Thursday, 23 September 2010 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link
i like torche, a lot, but they sucked live last night. like, a whole set of thudding muddy sludge instead of the pop stuff. homeboy has never been great at the straight up thud and anyway this is new orleans and we have more muddy sludge than we know what to do with.
(kylesa were boring/pleasant as usual)
― adam, Thursday, 23 September 2010 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link
i know people are big on floor or cavity or whatever but the best floor song is "downed star" which is basically a downtuned hum song.
new ep is really good though, wish they'd played some of that stuff.
― adam, Thursday, 23 September 2010 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Floor rule (as did Cavity)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 September 2010 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Man, Torche ruled live when I saw them open for Boris. Very fun set.
I kinda like the Foo Fighters too, at least many of their singles, but I look for completely different things from each band. I won't hate on anyone for hearing a similarity, but "sounds like a sludgier Foo Fighters" has become sort of a lazy shorthand for Torche at this point.
