Rough Trade is the sort of company that books will be written about....oh, wait, they already did...but more importantly, they are the sort of company that folks go shit house banana's over the store's taste making qualities. Which is precisely why we are tickled pink to see one from our brood ranked #44 this year on Rough Trade's Year End List. How they missed the other 20 albums we put out last year is beyond us...if you know the shop keepers, send 'em our love next time yr in there. And for you UK folks who are now, for the first time, turned on to Torche, you can check out the band next month live and in concert on yr shores!
