Diving Onto Torche’s “Grenades”
When I was asked to guest-blog, I was truly upset that the gig wouldn’t be like “Weird Al” Yankovic hosting AL-TV in 1988 and I could just play Utopia videos all day. Luckily one of the bestest rock bands around dropped a new track on their MySpace page, thus barely meeting the vaguest, most minimal of requirements for a “news peg”!
Miami sludge-pop band Torche have unleashed Grenades,” the latest song of their upcoming, totally righteous Meanderthal, the best album with a comically embarrassing title since–oh, let’s say Endtroducing. If you haven’t heard them before, Torche is like the Melvins with Animal Collective harmonies, which we used to call Beach Boys harmonies back in my day. If you have heard Torche, well, they still sound like that.
