Album of the day: Torche – Meanderthal (Hydra Head Records 2008)

Posted on Sunday, May 24th, 2009

(From our archives): Clocking in at just over 36 minutes, Torche’s Meanderthal is an album that is both massive and jubilant. Labeled “thunder-pop” by the few publications who have reviewed it, it’s a perfect example of just how exciting, original and all out fucking fist pumpingly enjoyable heavy music can ...read more
