Torche & Harvey Milk touring - in Brooklyn Sunday (after the Trail of Dead Pool Party) - win tickets & records & stuff

If you somehow missed it, the Torche/Harvey Milk mega-bonanza swings it way into Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg (and our hearts?) on Sunday (July 26th) with the mysterious but crushing Pollution. Tickets are still available. Good times.

Sunday is also the Trail of Dead Pool Party just a couple of blocks away. Consider the show at Music Hall the unofficial afterparty.

In addition, Harvey Milk recently released a split 7" with another fave around these parts, Wildildlife, which is available via Volcom's split 7" series. That 7" is extremely limited, much like Harvey Milk's other 2LP which is limited to 300 copies, the S/T "Tour Edition" LP more commonly known as The Bob Weston Sessions. Who wants to win one of them and/or a pair of tickets to Sunday's show? Details at the end of this post.

Torche recently dropped a video for "Healer" from Meanderthal and the Healer/Across The Shields 12" (which features exclusive tracks). Check that out below. Floor, which featured members of Torche, recently reissued their first 7".

And while we can neither confirm nor deny that members of Pollution are also members of Unearthly Trance, we CAN confirm that Unearthly Trance will be at Public Assembly one week after MHOW... at the BV-BBG Show No Mercy show! Set aside August 2nd to catch Keelhaul (who have a kick ass new album on the way), Minsk (who have a new album of their own), STATS (who gives away free music), and Defeatist (who recently played with Hatred Surge), and in the meantime, dig on the new Seldon Hunt flyer below!

FLOOR = One of best bands ever.
Torche = Sorry, I can't tell the difference between them and Foo Fighters.

That's because you're gay. That's the test.

"That's because you're gay."

If you were using "gay" as insult to someone that doesn't like Torche, that's pretty ironic since one of that band's members actually is gay...

... which I'm guessing is related to what led to the fight that led to them now being a three-piece. Just a guess.

floor sucked. sorry. liking a band's more obscure, duller older work because doesn't make you cool, it makes you shitty and contrarian.

July 24, 2009 9:36 PM : That might have been the stupidest thing posted here and that's saying something. Foo Fighters? Really?

I agree, in spirit, with the Foo Fighters comment. Torche's songs are essentially poppunk/emo that has been detuned and slowed down a bit. The hamminess was also very difficult to endure. Seeing them after Harvey Milk--a band that makes really great, smart, interesting, and rocking heavy music--did them no favors either.

Good thing Torche followed Harvey M or they wouldnt have had a crowd to play too. You gotta be a Drege fan lmao. Maybe this was way to much fun for you to handle..

Just because they are melodic, doesn't mean that they are "emo". Emo is unmitigated, completely calculated crap living off the name of much better music such as Minor Threat and Marginal Man. I do agree about Harvey Milk though. They were fucking amazing. Great band.
