Topshelf Records

We’re pairing up with Deathwish, Inc. to release a split with Touche Amore & Pianos Become the Teeth!

Touche Amore are a thought provoking, passionate band from Los Angeles, CA. Throughout their relentless touring and the release of last year’s Parting The Sea Between Brightness and Me, the band has established itself as one of the most exciting young bands in contemporary hardcore/punk today.

Here, Touche Amore offer up the exceptional “Gravity, Metaphorically”, a stripped down and discordant emotional roller coaster of a song. For over four minutes, Touche Amore rattle and buzz through tempo changes and jangly riffs, as vocalist/lyricist Jeremy Bolm pours out his heart and soul in his trademark way. A poignant step forward for a band that continues to impress with every effort.

Pianos Become The Teeth are one of the bands leading the latest generation of emotional hardcore/punk. Led by unique vocalist/lyricist Kyle Durfey, they create moving music with a focus on his powerfully poetic story telling capabilities.

With this release, Pianos Become The Teeth offer up their extraordinary new song “Hiding”. Meandering melodic guitar work weaves in and out before Durfey expels “There’s no good in your eyes anymore…” telling a weighty and complex tale of the subtle nuances of love and conflict. The song continues to push and pull as emotions do throughout it’s five minute run. Slowly building only to beautifully crash in a way that only Pianos Become The Teeth can.

The split will be out digitally January 8, 2013 and physically on January 22, 2013. Pre-order details will be available soon.
