Torche announce new album ‘Admission’

TORCHE have announced a new album!

Titled Admission, the upcoming album from Miami’s heavy rock quartet is their fifth album, and first new music since 2015’s Restarter and will be released in July this year!

this album is more revealing of who we are. I think the core of the band is happier and more inspired than we have been in some time, and we’ve got somebody new who’s excited to be a part of it. It’s just refreshing. It feels right. It feels real,” says guitarist Jon Nuñez, referencing the band’s new line-up which includes a shift from bass to guitar for Nuñez and the addition of bass player Eric Hernandez (WRONG). Steve Brooks (guitar/vocals) and Rick Smith (drummer) round-out the band.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming record; titled Slide. Speaking about the new song, drummer Rick Smith says, Slide is one of the first songs Eric came to the table with, fully realized and arranged. Eric is a total beast of a songwriter. I suggested he use the first three Gary Numan records as inspiration and he came back at us with some melodically sound material that nailed the TORCHE vibe.”
