Have you heard Torche’s Restarter yet? It’s a pretty damn solid album, and the band’s Relapse debut (and fourth album overall) is their most successful yet. They’ve been touring in support of the album, and began the year on the road with Clutch, but they’re going to keep touring. In fact, a midwest, west coast and Canadian run announced today will find them sharing the stage with Japanese duo Melt Banana. It will definitely be a pretty odd pairing, but also a particularly good time, especially if you’re a metal fan that likes music that doesn’t necessarily fit the cookie cutter definition of metal.
