TOUCHE AMORE - 10 Years / 1000 Shows: Live At The Regent Theater 2xLP (Colour Vinyl)

Label: Epitaph

It’s somewhat remarkable for any independent band to stay together for a decade. Nevertheless, that’s what Touché Amoré achieved this past February. And ideally, they’ve marked it with this live record.

Taking place in their hometown of Los Angeles, ’10 Years…’ serves as a celebration for all what Touché Amoré have accomplished over the past decade. Over the course of 27 tracks, the set picks out from their deep discography of albums, EP’s and splits; collaborations with La Dispute and Self Defense Family are given the full live treatment. For anyone who has witnessed, Touché Amoré live in recent years will know how much of a sonic force they have become, and thanks to Kurt Ballou’s mixing, ’10 Years…’ perfectly captures the quintet at their most ferociousness.

The sold out crowd cannot be forgotten. From filling in on vocals to overwhelmingly showing their appreciation throughout, it’s clear this was a special night for all in attendance.
