Biography
Touche Amore was first formed in 2007 by lead vocalist Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Clayton Stevens and Nick Steinhardt, with Tyson White on bass guitar and drummer Jeremy Zsupnik. They released their demo in September 2008, which caught the attention of No Sleep Records, who later helped them release the demo. The band set out on tour on the West Coast of the United States, culminating into a return into the recording studio to make their first full-length album. They released “To The Beat Of A Dead Horse” in June 2009. “To The Beat Of A Dead Horse” made several Top lists, and was met with positive reviews from such media outlets as Punknews.org and Sputnikmusic.
The band released their second album, “Parting The Sea Between Brightness And Me” in 2011 through Deathwish Inc. The album was Number 6 on Rock Sound’s annual “Album of the Year” chart, and was also met with critical acclaim from various media charts, just as “To The Beat Of A Dead Horse.” Touche Amore set out on a promotional tour, hitting different countries in Europe, as well as several appearances at music festivals like Heavy Festival in the United Kingdom.
In 2012 the band released a four-track EP entitled “Live On BBC Radio 1” and featured a guest vocalist, Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. Additionally that year the band went out on tour with Circa Survive. On 27 June 2013 the band released their third album title, “Is Survived By,” and was released later that year.
Live reviews
I was lucky enough to see the amazing and amazingly talented Touché Amoré live at Chain Reaction in 2012. The crowd was lively and shouting as the band set up and it was a very rough energy in the air that night as the crowd clearly did not want to calm down.
As soon as they played the first note the audience let out a scream of excitement for the band. Then the finally quieted down and let the music control them. The music was rocking, hard, and lots of fun. They did a fantastic job performing that night and I could not have hoped for any more.
The hard rock metal screaming music really put everyone into a great mood as they jumped up and down and banged their heads. The energy changed to a much more fun one as the night wore on and I was glad to no longer be afraid for my life. It turned out to be one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life before. I think every one would benefit from seeing Touché Amoré perform their heavy metal music live and in concert at least once in their lives.
Best set from a support band I've seen since Ceremony supported Pissed Jeans last August. Tore through 15 songs in 35 minutes, including fan favourites ~, Just Exist, Gravity, Metaphorically, and Honest Sleep. With Modern Life Is War and Gorilla Biscuits topping the bill, this was one hell of a gig.

Jeremy Bolm gives you the perfect mixture of raw and honest emotions and energetic outbursts, both in his performance and lyrics. Not to mention the way the rest of the band augments it all, especially the drummer. You're bound to be drawn into 'the sea between brightness and me'.

Should have been 21 and up. Hipsters with beer in the mosh pit not a good thing. Making room for kids under 21 takes room away from the predominant crowd and forces people with booze in two places they shouldn't be. This is not just inconvenient, it causes fights.

Sick show! Genuine band, they go hard on stage, and they hangout around the venue to talk with fans after the show. Crowd is wild and rowdy (at least in Columbus)
