Torche – ‘Harmonicraft’

April 19, 2012

It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since Torche put out their last full-length, 2008’s Meanderthal, an album I now consider one of my all time favourites.

February 15, 2012

So 2012 is in full swing, and I know I probably should’ve posted this before New Year’s, but better late than never I suppose.

MIXTAPE: Rick Smith

As if drumming in sludge-pop masterminds Torche (one of my favourite bands) and grindcore bros Shitstorm isn’t enough, Rick Smith also has an awesome taste in music. We asked him to tell us a little about ten songs he’s really into right now, and he was more than happy to oblige. To top it all […]
