I'm glad he's alive and doing fine, but that would've made one of the best rock n roll death stories ever.

Whoa whoa ho ho

New album is criminally good and catchy. Would have sold multiple millions in 1994.

Harmonicraft has become my go-to headphone record while working out at the gym. My gym is on the 2nd floor of a building across the street from a beach and has floor-to-ceiling windows that look out at the ocean.

This evening while on the cardio machine, with the sun setting and my heart rate way up, just as the chorus of "Kicking" dropped i saw a Humpback Whale breach and splash down in to the shimmering water. It was awesome.

new song on itunes and spotify

new to Torche. obv into stoner stuff but I had a hard time convincing myself to listen to Torche because of the descriptions given of them; I like my sludge/stoner stuff to be dank and depressing and the idea of poppy melodies and shit didn't appeal to me.

they came by a few weeks ago and I was bored and it was $10 so I figured why not check it out and the opening strains of Meanderthal were like the coolest fucking thing ever and on listening to em this is pretty great stuff. really love the s/t and Meanderthal, still need some more time to determine what I think of Restarter.

also got the Floor box cos it was only $26 on Amazon, have enjoyed listening to each disc at random to see their progression. On Dove right now..

Like you, I was late to the party, mostly for the same reasons you mentioned. I've since converted big time and I think the new one is my favorite!

Wise decision to grab that Floor box, great stuff in there.

It took me a while to get into Restarter because I thought it wasn't poppy enough (I usually have the opposite problem) but it's pretty good. It's gonna sound REALLY good if/when the weather gets a lot warmer.

I think if it was poppier, I might not have given it a chance (I didn't like the previous stuff much, but now I'm going back to all of it). "No Servants" is my JAM.

Also, bought the deluxe edition of the vinyl direct from the label just for "Harmonslaught" - man, what a riff!

These guys have a real cool sound. You can definitely see where it might have come from but the mixing of those sounds is really unique. I'd definitely like to see Torche live to see how it goes over.

torche is a great live band

New album, Admission, out on Friday. First impressions are very good so far. Picking up where Restarter left off.
