Touche Amore - To The Beat Of A Dead Horse

"...To The Beat Of A Dead Horse marks a real turning point in the life of the band. By focusing melodic and dissonant guitars on tracks like opener “And Now It’s Happening In Mine,” the band — made up of Tyson White, Clayton Stevens and Nick Steinhardt — craft perfect backdrops for singer Jeremy Bolm’s raw-throated stories of corrupt politicians (“History Reshits Itself”), exhausted nights (“Honest Sleep”) and existential loneliness (“Suckerfish”). Where TOUCHÉ AMORÉ’s demo 7” on No Sleep Records was full of promise, ...To The Beat Of A Dead Horse never feels fully realized: the guitars bend and weave but always maintain their drive, the rhythms are frequently off kilter but never off-time and the vocals are screamed at the edge of breaking up but they’re always exciting, pleasing even. This record was completed not compromised.

Featuring guest vocals by THURSDAY’s Geoff Rickly and MODERN LIFE IS WAR’s Jeff Eaton, ...To The Beat Of A Dead Horse was recorded by Alex Estrada at Earth Capital Studios and Mastered by Paul Miner (SUICIDE FILE, NEW FOUND GLORY, UNBROKEN)."
