CaptainHerbalLife Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Another song. Very enjoyable. Sounds more like the Torche of Harminocraft, really up-beat. Quite an alright runtime on the whole album, roughly 40 minutes. They've played it safe up until now, as all the tracks are from up front. I think the rest of the album is going to surprise us still. https://soundcloud.com/relapserecords/torche-loose-men/s-OLdbC#t=0:00 Between the title and the artwork, I'm starting to think one of the accompanying aims of Steve Brooks with this album is to out himself even more.

throwgncpr Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 nice! I love their sludgey stuff, but these upbeat tracks are great fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glass realms Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Between the title and the artwork, I'm starting to think one of the accompanying aims of Steve Brooks with this album is to out himself even more. I don't think he has any "aims" to out himself more when he's already as out as he possibly can be. Besides, they've had pun-like song titles for a while now. Kiss Me Dudely, Rock N Roll Mantasy, etc. I think the band just have a sense of humor about how they're presented. throwgncpr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk-downing Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Really hoping there will be some vocals from Andrew on this album. If that happens, we'll be dealing with a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely. That shot was all tongue-in-cheek but am glad you called me out on it. I love Steve Brooks and Torche and it's highly owing to the fact that they don't seem to take themselves too seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FangsAnalSatan Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I need to remember to buy this. Or maybe I'll pick up a copy when they come by with Nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If anyone is looking for the indie exclusive mint green, they have them over at bullmoose. I think it will go really well with the cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This leaked. Upon first listen, I think this might be their best release yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 This leaked. Upon first listen, I think this might be their best release yet Such good news. Can't wait to give it a whirl. I still haven't decided which variant to go with yet. [edit] That indie mint is sounding pretty good to me. Love supporting Bull Moose when I can.

seanicus Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 This leaked. Upon first listen, I think this might be their best release yet It's definitely good. I'll need more time with it before I claim it's better than everything else, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I still find "Meanderthal" their best release, but "Restarter" is really good. Sound is heavy and intense, track differs and I love how the drums play. It's worth what I've paid. I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Got my Silver 2xLP in today. Awesome package! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 This is more a relapse question but if you order pre orders and non pre orders do they all ship at once? Wanna grab this torche and some stuff coming out in march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Got my Silver 2xLP in today. Awesome package! Nice man, how does it sound? My indie green is not scheduled to ship out for a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice man, how does it sound? My indie green is not scheduled to ship out for a week or so.

jonnyhambone Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 sounds so great! Didn't expect the faux velvet glow-in-the-dark jacket...These are some tight jams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Got my copy from Relapse. Good background tunes, but only a few tracks that really caught my attention. I expect better from this band. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This is much heavier than I was expecting (given the direction they've been heading). I dig it based on the first listen. No song has jumped out at me, but I keep find a riff or something that grabs my attention. I'm going to spend a fair amount of timing getting familiar with this. sounds so great! Didn't expect the faux velvet glow-in-the-dark jacket...These are some tight jams Really impressed with the jacket too. I'm very pleased with this release all around.

sinatra.45 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Dammit, Relapse. I goofed and ordered two different versions, the silver and the purple merge back in December. I immediately called & canceled the silver after ordering to which they said, "no problem". Flash forward to two months and they both arrive yesterday. My lack of follow up has given me two copies of this awesome album. First world problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't really paying attention to song titles and I was in the middle of other things too. I'm going to give it a closer listen tonight.

It's the next to last song, the one that will probably kill your stereo with heaviness kk-downing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
