Torche Share Restarter In Its Entirety Via Noisey

Album Stream Includes Two Previously Unheard Songs: “Believe It” And “No Servants”

Feb. 16, 2015, Philadelphia – Torche is streaming their forthcoming album, Restarter (Feb. 24, Relapse Records), via Noisey (http://noisey.vice.com/blog/torche-restarter-stream).

The album stream follows a week of premieres as the band rolled out new songs via Alternative Press, Stereogum, Paste and Metal Sucks. Noisey’s album stream debuts two previously unheard tracks: “Believe It” and “No Servants.”

Torche’s Relapse Records’ debut has received widespread praise from Rolling Stone (“bass-booming”), Revolver (“The album finds them further honing their ‘heavy pop’ approach, infusing sludgy, bass-heavy slabs of sound with bright and buoyant melodies”), Decibel (“a clamorous slab of riff-driven sludge-pop”), Spin (“thundering”), Stereogum (“They are masters of melody and songwriting”) and Outburn (“ridiculously catchy”).

Fans of the band can try their skills at Torche vs. Robots: Annihilation Affair (www.torchevsrobots.com), a single-player game featuring each of the Torche band members as characters trying to save the city of Miami from destruction bend robots. Fans who play the game are eligible to win a prize pack that includes Restarter on vinyl, a t-shirt, two tickets to see Torche on tour and stickers. To enter, contestants must upload a video to YouTube which shows them beating the game with the hash tag #torchevsrobots. One prize pack per band member/character will be awarded with winners picked on Feb. 23.
