Members starmansam Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'm still mad that I missed them when they came to Cleveland last time. Have fun, man, I hear they put on a great show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Small Stone Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 I love Torche! To the point that I want to write heavy power pop with a guitar tuned all the way down to Hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted September 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 I saw them support ISIS like 3 years ago and they were rad. Headline show this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 I saw them do a joint header with Baroness about 6/7 years ago, or whenever it was they were touring their self titled LP. Amazing band live, totally made a mockery of Baroness. I haven't been into anything they've done since the self titled though. They played here last night and our drummer went down, but I chose not to bother because I assumed they'll play mostly new stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good stuff, a lot of dull dross, especially the new album which is pretty mediocre. Seem to have got quite big though. So they're not good live?

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 They weren't bad, but I think they were alternating who played last on every night of the tour and at the Manchester show Baroness closed. Baroness just cannot follow a band like Torche, I was actually a little embarrassed for them. It was a really little venue with no stage and the amps weren't mic'd up, so Torche came on with their dual JCM800 full stacks, great hooks, energy, amazing tone and sheer volume, and they just slayed. Then Baroness came on and just seemed so tame and dull in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Harry_Manback1 Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 Nice, I'd love to see Torche. I'm really digging Harmonicraft. I saw Baroness a couple years ago and they were pretty good but the new album is a total turd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Loobs Posted September 14, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 The new album is mostly a stinker, right? I don't so much like Harmonicraft. Meanderthal is one of my favourite albums though and my buddy I'm going with is a big Torche fan in general so it's gonna be a brodown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your only exposure to Torche is Meanderthal and then you jump to Harmonicraft it will probably be a bit of a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Holy Schnikes Posted September 14, 2012 Members Share Posted September 14, 2012 I saw 'em a few months back, first time since our St.L hometown hero Andrew joined. They {censored}ing killed it, as always. I chatted with 'em afterward, awesomely nice guys, even when I bitched about the lack of Skin Moth in their set.
