Torche is a peculiar band. It’s hard to believe that not all has been said about music and yet contemporary artists always seem to be going around in circles. Perhaps that this is the sense that we get because the mass invasion of new bands, strongly aided by the simplicities of communication, recording, distribution, etc that is available to them today. Talent is merely a detail. When an artist opens up a creative door, others follow immediately. The orginal idea is drowned by the great mass of copies and its previous impact loses value.
Torche are part of the orginals. Luckily, at this moment they are the only ones like them. Should we expect the trend to spread? It’s hard to say. Who would want more heavy sludge mixed with pop melodies? We can’t say that this is a current fashion. Then again trends pick up very quickly…
Either way, we at Radio metal like Torche. And it just so happens that we received a box of invitations to listen to their new album, Songs For Singles, and have a chat with Rick Smith.
