Since their inception, Touche Amore have been touring relentlessly, playing their brand of emotional hardcore/punk everywhere from dingy basements to sprawling arenas. Most recently, the band announced their „Live At BBC Radio 1” EP, which was recorded while traveling in the UK in 2011. The band was invited to record at the legendary BBC Studios for „The Punk Show” with host Mike Davies. Being the music fanatics they are, Touche Amore excitedly accepted the offer. There they worked with acclaimed engineer Simon Askew (Pulp, PJ Harvey, Foo Fighters) during a half day of recording. With a trophy resume like that, you would think that Touche Amore would be presented here in a polished state, but the contrary is true. Here we experience four of their well known anthems in their most stripped down, road worn state. All at goose-bump inducing, speaker blowing volume.

In addition to their forthcoming appearance at Sound & Fury festival and their European Tour in August, Touche Amore announced today that they’ll be touring the U.S. this Fall alongside Circa Survive, Balance and Composure and O’Brother – all tour dates can be found below.
