Recently nominated for “Best Underground Band” at the Alternative Press Music Awards, Too Close To Touch again teamed up with producer Erik Ron (Issues, Set It Off) in the making of their new album.

Sponsor: My Thanks to Every Time I Die
Every Time I Die released their new album, Low Teens, yesterday. I think you should definitely check it out if you haven’t yet. Every Time I Die are one of those bands that every time I listen to I realize how much I enjoy, but I always forget when talking about bands with the best catalogs. Anyway, this album is no doubt up there with the best the band have done — and you should give it a listen. My sincere thanks to the band and Epitaph Records for sponsoring the website this week, it means so much to me to see bands I love and respect working with us.
Every Time I Die will be on tour this fall with Beartooth, Fit For a King, and Old Wounds. Tickets are on sale now and all the dates can be found below.
Sponsor: Every Time I Die to Release ‘Low Teens’ This Friday
Every Time I Die have been forging their own musical path for their 18+ years as a band. Keith Buckley (vocals), Andy Williams (guitar), Jordan Buckley (guitar), Daniel Davison (drums), and Steve Micciche (bass) continued this history when they recorded their upcoming album, Low Teens, with producer/engineer Will Putney (Acacia Strain, Body Count, Exhumed). Low Teens is the band’s most poignant and impassioned album in a career full of sardonic illuminations and pit-inciting fervor. Low Teens will be released on September 23rd, 2016. Make sure you’ve got it pre-ordered.

Sponsor: My Thanks to Touché Amoré and Epitaph Records
A huge thank you to Touché Amoré and Epitaph Records for sponsoring the website this week. The band just released their epic new album, Stage Four, and you should definitely be giving that a listen this weekend. I feel like this is one of those albums that hits you almost immediately with its emotional weight and then over time expands until you just can’t get it off your mind. I find myself thinking about these songs even when I’m doing other things. It’s powerful.
Check below for the band’s upcoming tour dates.
Sponsor: Touché Amoré to Release ‘Stage Four’ This Week
Stage Four is the new album from the Los Angeles band Touché Amoré, and the title is an emblem of a band both living its dream and marred by loss. It comes out this Friday, September 16th and can be pre-ordered right now.
Formed in Burbank, California, across 2007 and 2008, the band’s urgent sound, with its melodic sonic assault and impassioned vocals, has grown tighter and more refined through a trio of full-length albums and a series of EP’s and releases. Since those early days, lead singer Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Nick Steinhardt and Clayton Stevens, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin have created a trajectory for themselves through hard work and dedication. And now with Stage Four, their fourth and biggest album to date, they are cementing their status as one of punk music’s most talented, relatable, and visceral acts.
Sponsor: My Thanks to This Wild Life and Epitaph Records
I’d like to offer my sincere thanks to This Wild Life and Epitaph Records for sponsoring Chorus this week. The band just released their new album, Low Tides, and I spent most of yesterday listening to it. I like it. I was a big fan of what they did on Clouded and I’m impressed with where they’re taking their sound. It’s definitely worth giving a look if you want something new to listen to as we start our inevitable march into fall.
On September 14th in Los Angeles, This Wild Life begin their 25-city headlining “Low Tides Tour” with supporting acts Have Mercy and Movements. A full list of those tour dates can be found below.

This Wild Life will release their new album Low Tides on September 9th. Pre-orders are available right now. Their new album shows the duo taking their songwriting to the next level by fleshing out ten tracks with expanded arrangements and inventive instrumentation. In other words, it isn’t as much a reinvention as it is a progression and one that’s as memorable as they come.
