who are Boris and Torche?

Both drastically different bands than WITTR-- this tour is a great mix of oddities for sure. I think Boris may be the headliner on this tour.

Can't wait for July 5...<---organic home brew...

 

[SeanNZ]

who are Boris and Torche?

Boris are a Japanese Doom/Drone/Sludge band. Not too sure about Torche...


I have to admit Wolves in the Throne Room didn't impress me on my first listen a few years back - perhaps because i was expected more folk music in the mix.

I'm looking at ordering their album(s) now. Are they both worth getting? Is there any clear differences between the two albums as far as quality or style goes?

 

[TheCrab]

FUUCK.

I'll be in Israel July 19.

WITTR will no longer be touring this summer...

Due to personal reason we will no longer be touring with Boris this summer.

Boris and Torche are still scheduled to tour the whole US June -August.

 

[zekeyou]

Ugh, just saw that...

I just ordered the recent Torche and Boris albums to catch up with them, too...

 

[Der Morgenstern]

They're such an odd group - little things tend to disgruntle them quite a bit.

 

[beast from the east]

Damn, that sucks Oh well...

 

[JakeTehRipper]

Personally I always found their music horrible and over-rated.... but I just checked my media library again and I don't even have them, so fuck knows where that (pre?)conception came from... just the start of that article makes me want to give them another go though.

 

[chrisdoig24k]

I just started listening to them again, and... wow... I'm shockingly impressed!
