Gets Endorsed by Former Presidential Candidate and Governor Mike Huckabee on Fox News' Red Eye
New Album, Songs For Singles, Out Now on Hydra Head!
Watch Part 1 of Torche on Fox Red Eye here! // Watch Part 2 of Torche on Fox Red Eye here!
"It's Black Sabbath meets U2 mixed with a vat of delicious chocolate sauce... it's Jane's Addiction, only louder and scarier... it's Nirvana without the depression... it's the Foo Fighter with, you know, songs... it's heavy, thunderous, melodic, exhilarating, and most of all, huge. That's Torche." - Mike Huckabee on Fox News' Red Eye
Check out the video from Monday night's episode of Fox Red Eye featuring Torche's Steve Brooks and Jonathan Nunez above!
The first video includes an intro by Red Eye's resident doom metal expert, former presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, who, extolling the many virtues of Torche, says they're "the world's greatest band" and "heavier than something really heavy like a tractor or something."
In the next video, Gutfeld interviews the band members, asking the openly gay Brooks "Do you get lots of groupies?" at one point and later adding, "I could smell David Lee Roth coming out of you." See how it's handled (above).

Here's the info from the press release:
Video creator and resident Hydra-Head Andrew Cox (www.andrewjamescox.com) knew the production for the pummeling new track had to be pretty awe-inspiring, and so he drew his inspiration from the classic and cult worshipped kaiju giant monster / robot movies of yester-year. "I watched Godzilla: Tokyo SOS on Netflix streaming a year or so ago and was kind of enamored with the kitschy effects. I didn't have that much experience with Adobe After Effects, so going into the project knowing I wanted it to look sloppy made things less daunting."
"I started the video on my own, without any solicitation, for an entirely different song by an entirely different band (Daughters' "The Theatre Goer"). But it was taking too long and that band broke up before the record dropped, so I switched it to the Torche song."
Cox created this beast entirely on his own, including drawing out all the designs and storyboards, on a shoe-string budget while listening to the song on an endless loop for days. "If we had done everything by the book as a real production, the budget would have exceeded ten grand easily, but I think I ended up spending about $140, including the wrap bbq."

So Torche has this new record coming out in a few weeks and it's called Songs For Singles. You knew that. Today, though, you can have your first nibble at the aural feast that I have been wrecking my car speakers with since we got the first demos here at ol' HHR. The first track and single off of Songs For Singles, "U.F.O." is now available on iTunes and streamable via Sterogum. Now go take care of that business!
Preorder Songs For Singles on our webstore here!
Our pal Steve Brooks teaches how to play "Tarpit Carnivore" from In Return (Robotic Empire. We have copies of the 10"+CD in the webstore) in this youtube guitar lesson. Maybe you've seen this before, but if not, now you can steal Torche's tuning! Because the world needs more rumble.
