torch is a four-piece alternative rock band based in Fukuoka, Japan.
DIFFERENT is the lead single from their second full-length album, 1000DAYS.
Intertwining red and blue, memories and reality begin to blur. A sense of alienation from the present and a restless search for something beyond the here and now unfold through swirling, noise-drenched shoegaze guitars and the raw energy of the band's live ensemble.
Blending the tension of new wave and post-punk with the atmospheric textures of shoegaze, DIFFERENT marks a new chapter in torch's alternative sound.
DIFFERENT A subtle difference. Tired of the way things are now.
