Drawing as much from traditional West Coast hardcore as contemporary screamo, the Los Angeles group Touché Amoré doubles down on the energy and politics of their excellent self-titled debut while adding extra layers of melody on their latest release, …To the Beat of a Dead Horse. That record features some cameos that promise to introduce the band to a broader audience: Thursday’s Geoff Rickly and Modern Life is War’s Jeff Eaton both lend their voices. Touché Amoré’s latest tour pairs them with the Cedar Falls hardcore band Former Thieves.
Touché Amoré w/ Former Thieves, Cloud Mouth, Armada and Maidens
