30/09/2009 : T-shirts! Free Singles! Good Reviews!
Hi everyone, hope all is well.
We've got some t-shirts - only one design at the moment - which are on sale in our new shop. Hopefully you'll like it and avail yourself of one! There's also an amazing bundle where you can get our 2008 EP 'Drones & Sharp Teeth' and a t-shirt and save yourself £2 in the process.
The other big news is the release of our new download only double-A single 'Sawhooks and Chains | Call Me Ishmael'. You can download both tracks for free as 320kbps mp3 files (and in various other high quality formats) at our bandcamp page. The download also includes a sweet pdf artwork file to accompany the release. The songs should are also available from the iTunes store.
To entice you further, here's what the critics have to say about the single:
"...just perfect for the current summer-to-autumn transition we're in the throes of...guitar rock at its finest, grabbing you at the first note" LeftLion issue 31 (Kristi Genovese)
"Awesome riffing gives way to angelic vocals, full of post-hardcore juxtapositions and some inspired melodies - give this Nottingham band your attention and you’ll be bowled over by their invention and potency!" subba-cultcha.com (Jeremy Chick)
"TOR have pedigree – and an intriguing approach to alt-rock. Sawhooks And Chains recalls Tool and the Smashing Pumpkins, and it's a thought-provoking melody. Call Me Ishmael is equally fluent, with tinges of indie and metal that demonstrates exceptional flair." Nottingham Evening Post (Matthew Smith)
We've got some new gigs coming up this month to promote the single, so hope to see at one of those. We should be adding a London date to the mini-tour in due course so keep checking back to see when that will be.
Take care,
Aidan x
