TORCHE SIGN TO VOLCOM ENTERTAINMENT; ENTER STUDIO TODAY TO RECORD NEW FULL LENGTH

Miami purveyors of hard rock, TORCHE, have announced the beginning of production on their forthcoming as-of-yet-titled LP today. The band will be self-producing the album in hometown studio, Pinecrust, and delivering the finished recordings to Kurt Ballou of Converge for mixing. Look for the new album to be released on Volcom Entertainment in the spring or early summer of next year. Next month, the band will release a limited-edition split 12″ with Part Chimp that will be available at the bands’ recently-announced tour stops and online via Chunklet. The TORCHE side of the split features three Guided By Voices covers. The cover features artwork by the world-renowned sci-fi illustrator Trevor Claxton

Praise For TORCHE
“an absolutely killer rock record– one that’s likely to appeal to listeners into any stripe of heavy music from the past 20 years..” - Pitchfork

“Torche are a band who don’t write songs like anyone else… it won’t be surprising if in 15 years some young band on stage starts playing a riff from Meanderthal and the crowd goes nuts.” - Decibel Magazine

“Maybe it’s the bunker-thick wall of sludge, maybe it’s the doomy undertow, or maybe it’s the hair-farming guitar whiz and gay frontman (peace to Judas Priest), but Torche aren’t really a metal band, certainly not the pleasureless Ozzfest kind, not with riffs this gloriously anthemic.” – Spin
