Torche Announce Headlining Tour Dates
If Torche are hitting “restart” as the title of their impending fourth album and Relapse label debut suggests, they’re hitting it pretty hard. The four-piece will be on tour for what seems like a warm-up run with Municipal Waste for a few dates starting this weekend, and then in March, they pick up for headlining dates in the Midwest and on the East Coast with Nothing and Wrong, and then in May, it’s a full month in Europe including stops at the Asymmetry and Temples festivals. Meanwhile, the record’s out in Feb. and guitarist/vocalist Steve Brooks is Euro-touring with Floor in April, so yeah, it’s a busy time. One can only assume they’ve got more to come as well.
For now, this looks like plenty:
