![]() ![]() It seems like it’s focusing on the themes of reflection and looking back. That person was me.” Speaking of looking back, you have a new album coming out in October called Lament. Yeah, it can be kind of hard to look back at your former self and realize, “Wow, that is the same person. I’m sure I sound super nervous which is probably fun and a little humbling. But I haven’t listened to the audio of that since it was originally done. I think I was borrowing it from the owner of the magazine.Īctually, I did a ‘zine a few years back called Down Time in-between records where I actually transcribed it from from the magazine because I still have a copy of it. ![]() I don’t even have something to play it on, so I would have to buy another one of those recorders just to hear it back because lord knows what happened to that thing. ![]() You know, I’ve thought about it, but I would just enjoy listening back to it. This is before digital recorders, so I have the mini-tape of the interview somewhere.ĭo you think it would be worth releasing it at some point? It was either during the You Fail Me or No Heroes tour I’d have to look at the date. So he did not remember you from that interview. It’s kind of cool that things came full circle years later that I ended up having a relationship with him and much later on I brought it up to him, like, “You probably don’t remember, but I interviewed you,” and he was like, “Oh, shit. Like, I got to interview Jacob Bannon of Converge when I was 19 or 20. That was my first and only experience kind of doing any kind of writing for a magazine, so I did record reviews for it and I did a couple of interviews as well. It was also a record label and the guy who ran it would release records by Curl Up and Die and the Casket Lottery. There was one back in the early 2000s called Status. Yeah, there were a few that I would go to back in the day. Did you use to collect a lot of magazines? Were you big on the ‘zine scene back in the day? Yeah, I like that aspect of it, too, that the physical magazine is still the main product it’s not a supplemental to the website. It’s hard not to pay attention to something like that. No, you guys are one of the few magazines left that covers all these different genres and still actually do a physical product. What the magazine is about is something that I always thought was really cool. Have you read New Noise before? Are you familiar? We’re all pretty excited to have you featured in our next issue. The transcript has been edited slightly for the purpose of clarity. Exclusive merch will also be available in conjunction with the livestream including a limited-edition Lament LP limited to 300 units.īelow is a transcript of Mick R’s phone conversation with Jeremy this past summer. In addition to the live performance, the event will feature a Q&A with the band, and a DJ set from Jeremy Bolm. You can join the band in celebrating their new album by tuning in Monday, October 12 at 6pm PT/9pm ET via Twitch. In place of an in-person record release show, Touche Amore has announced that their record release party will be taking place entirely online. Lament will be released this Friday, October 9 via Epitaph Records. In response, the band’s newest album Lament is an attempt to process the response to their last album and come to terms with the infinite horizon of grief that opens with the passing of a loved one. The overwhelming fan response to Touche Amore’s fourth album, Stage Four has made Jeremy a spokesperson in some of his fan’s minds for grief and loss, as the album deeply explored his experience losing his mother to cancer in 2016. He’s a model of appreciation and humility, duel fascists of hist character that make him extremely approachable, even at the risk of his own emotional health. If you care about Jeremy’s band, then Jeremy is more than happy to return the consideration. The band has one of the most hardcore fan bases in… well, all of hardcore, and after speaking with their lead singer Jeremy Bolm for New Noise’s forthcoming issue, it’s easy to see why. Even if Touche Amore is not your favorite band, they’re more than definitely the favorite band of someone you know. ![]() I’m willing to bet some amount of money, that if you listen to either emo or hardcore, and certainly if you dip into both, that you’ve at some point recommended one of their albums to someone (most likely Is Survived By). Chances are, Touche Amore is your favorite band. ![]()
