Touché Amoré
Touché Amoré returns with 'Spiral in a Straight Line', an album that once again explores the boundaries of post-hardcore. Known for their ability to transform deeply personal experiences into powerful music, the band now delves into themes of inner chaos and change. Led by Jeremy Bolm and featuring Ross Robinson, the album brings a raw energy and emotional intensity that is characteristic of their sound. Songs like "Hal Ashby" explore the complexities of miscommunication and self-reflection, while contributions from artists such as Julien Baker and Lou Barlow add to the depth of the album. 'Spiral in a Straight Line' marks a new chapter in which the band reaches even greater emotional depth. Not to be missed!
Trauma Ray
Since first bonding over Slowdive at a Texas karaoke bar six years ago, musicians Uriel Avila and Jonathan Perez have grown Trauma Ray into Fort Worth's foremost flag bearer of crushing shoegaze. A five-piece rounded out by bassist Darren Baun, drummer Nicholas Bobotas, and guitarist Coleman Pruitt, the band's debut album 'Chameleon' captures their evolving sound at an apex of majestic devastation. A fusion of downer hooks, gauzy melancholia, and bulldozer riffs.
