van broken into, all manner of stuff including passports stolen, some shows in Canada cancelled
feel totally bad for these guys, they're a good band & this sucks, but let me reiterate as I do every time this happens: if you tour, load everything out from the car into the room your'e staying in every night. I had a longer rant but fuck a lecture, it's not the band's fault somebody robbed them but seriously touring bands, keep your unreplaceables at line-of-sight at all times. at all times, ok? thank you.

It's a 10" on grey marble. It's just the same tracks as on the cassette I have afaik.

I was asking if the demos are available on CD?
― ksh, Tuesday, 8 June 2010 17:09 (thirteen 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.

Oh, ok. Thank you.

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

And an 8-track player!

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
