The songs are fast, they’ve got a lot of energy, they’re mostly yelling. “When Touché started, it was a much more aggressive band,” he says. Steinhardt, the band’s guitarist-and original bassist-who stills maintains his side career as a graphic designer working on pop album art, sees a similar flight in the evolution of their sound. I wanted to find that middle ground of writing music that’s ‘us’ but not drifting too far to alienate people. I’d just turned 30 so I looked at it as writing about who I am, what I can be, how I’ll be remembered after I go and if I’ll make a positive impact. I had an awesome girl at home, I wasn’t drowning in debt, I had this band.
“At the point where we started writing Is Survived By, I was in such a good place it was hard to find anything to write about. “I feel that on the timeline of a band’s path, it gets really hard with each subsequent record,” Bolm says. “I don’t open up to people too much in regular life, but when I’m writing songs, I want to be as open and as honest as possible,” Bolm confesses, but, having surpassed every expectation of which any of the bandmates could have dreamed, he eventually found it difficult to cull lyrical material to satisfy their impressive ascendance. Having earned early cred, critical favor, and legions of fans by playing lengthy tours of all shapes and sizes-in every basement, youth center, and house show on the circuit but also on large stages alongside bands like Thursday and mewithoutyou, AFI, Rise Against and with touring festivals-the band enjoyed a bigger following which only grew along with their talents. Rising to prominence in the hardcore community through releases on notable labels like No Sleep, 6131, and Deathwish, and on albums like 2009’s …To the Beat of a Dead Horse and 2011’s Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me, Touché Amoré crossed into new territory with the 2013 art-punk masterpiece Is Survived By. And now with Stage Four, their fourth and biggest album to date, they are cementing their status as one of punk music’s most talented, relatable, and visceral acts. Since those early days, lead singer Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin have created a trajectory for themselves through hard work and dedication.
