TOUCHÉ AMORÉ

Touché Amoré is an American post-hardcore band from Los Angeles, formed in 2007. Since 2010, the band has included vocalist Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Clayton Stevens and Nick Steinhardt, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin. The band has released six studio albums: ...To the Beat of a Dead Horse (2009), Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me (2011), Is Survived By (2013), Stage Four (2016), Lament (2020), and Spiral in a Straight Line (2024). Touché Amoré is associated with the musical movement known as "The Wave," which includes American post-hardcore bands that emerged from the late 2000s through early 2010s, such as La Dispute, Defeater, Pianos Become the Teeth, and Make Do and Mend. Pitchfork described the band as "reliably cathartic and anthemic melodic post-hardcore," and Stereogum noted in 2016 that "if arena hardcore existed, this is how it might sound."
