„On August 4th, 2013 we played IS SURVIVED BY in its entirety to support the Bridgetown DIY space (in La Puente, CA). Our friend Chris Avis came to film the show. This song is called DNA.” – Touche Amore.

Hailing from Southern California, Touche Amore formed in 2007, released a myriad of 7inches and two full-lengths, and have been on the road almost non-stop in support. The band’s last LP, 2011’s Parting The Sea Between Brightness and Me, was called „one of the most grippingly direct hardcore albums in recent memory” by the AV Club, as well as being named LA’s Best Metal Album of 2011 by the Los Angeles Weekly. Fast forward to 2013, and Touche Amore recorded Is Survived By with producer Brad Wood (Sunny Day Real Estate, Smashing Pumpkins, mewithoutYou) in Valley Village, California. This new full-length features twelve new tracks that showcase Touche Amore’s lyrical ingenuity, musical ferocity and a newfound sense of maturity and will be be released on September 24th, 2013. The first single, „Just Exist”, was recently premiered by Pitchfork and the song is available as immediate download with album pre-order on iTunes here.
In support of Is Survived By, Touche Amore will be touring alongside AFI from September 12th through November 2nd, with headlining shows before/after/during, and will appear at FYF in Los Angeles and Riot Fest (Chicago and Denver) later this summer.
