TOUCHE AMORE IN CONCERT:
The venue lights dim, a few innocent notes on the guitar ring out, an impromptu joke from lead singer Jeremy Bolm elicits a laugh from the crowd, and then: complete and utter mayhem breaks out. Within seconds of kicking off their set, post-hardcore heroes Touche Amore have whipped the crowd into a frenzy of epic proportions, tearing through blistering songs like "Pathfinder" and "Home Away from Here" as a parade of stage diving concertgoers fly through the air. It's a spectacle that has to be seen to be believed -- good thing ticket buyers can witness the pandemonium first-hand on the band's can't-miss tours.?
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Touche Amore formed in Burbank, CA, in 2007 and quickly made a name for themselves with a 7" demo and scorching live shows performed up and down the California coast. They released their debut album ...To the Beat of a Dead Horse in 2009, receiving praise from critics for their screamo revival sound and landing on numerous year-end lists. After extensive touring the band released their 2011 sophomore album to another round of critical acclaim, earning themselves spots on tour with hardcore mainstays like Rise Against and Give Up the Ghost. Their third album Is Survived By arrived in 2013 -- another impressive slice of post-hardcore anthems like "Just Exist" that received a 98% from Absolute Punk. Beloved for their high-octane live shows, Touche Amore continue to bring the ruckus on tour.
I love touché I’ve seen them a million times. Finally hearing songs I’ve never heard live in an intimate room was memorable.
This band brought the energy and got in there feelings heavily because of the crowd and venue. It was a fantastic show. They made a new fan in me.
This was one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. The crowd had amazing energy. The Marquis is a small venue and it just made it that much better. All the bands went hard, but Touche Amore blew me away! I saw the lead vocalist get kicked in the mouth by a crowd surfer and he still didnt miss a beat.
Touché Amoré was awesome. But the sound wasn't mixed great. Kick drum and floor tom WAY overtaxed, to the exclusion of hearing two guitar parts well. And venue didn't require vax cards or masks, despite information before the show that suggested otherwise. Layout of venue itself is not great, either.
Touché Amoré is one of the best bands to see live. Such good energy and I even sang in eye contact with Jeremy Bolm! Tight as hell
Amazing venue I felt like I was dreaming touché is moving.
mewithoutYou is definitely the band that everyone has to see at least once! The crowd and the band were full of energy and excitement. Aaron Weiss is an amazing performer! He takes being on stage very personally.
Excellent set and energy. Playing the old stuff was refreshing. Nice mix of bands even though I was there for mewithoutyou.
