TORCHE STREAM “ADMISSION” VIA BILLBOARD NORTH AMERICAN TOUR BEGINS JULY 8 | ||
MIAMI, June 25, 2019 – Torche reveal a third track Admission (July 12, Relapse Records), debuting the album’s title track via Billboard (https://www.billboard.com/ ““This is a song where the music and the lyrics are a perfect match,” explains guitar player Jon Nunez in the accompanying article. “It’s as if they were meant to go together. What I was going through at the time really came through in the song, and the music I gave Steve definitely brought out some rather painful emotions for him [regarding] losing loved ones and the process you go through after. You could even hear a quiver in Steve’s voice, and it was like, ‘Wow, this is something we haven’t done before.’ Steve tends to be really secretive with his lyrics. He needed a little bit of a push, but I think deep down inside he wanted to get this off his chest.” The band has given two previous previews of music from the 11-song album with streams of the songs “Slide” (https://youtu.be/-vsj1Hcy0k4) and “Times Missing” (https://youtu.be/WeY-4KtqEAE) | ||

The collection found the band on most year-end best of lists with Entertainment Weeklydescribing the album as “gloriously fuzzy, sludgy, hard-hitting” and calling the band members “four of loud rock’s most adroit genre-benders.” The Washington Post called Restarter “otherworldly” and the Chicago Tribune saying “Torche’s music connects muscle, songcraft and drive in a way that few bands of recent vintage can match.” | ||
