I love when bands release unreleased stuff. it's always interesting to get that peek into what they might not think is good enough or what they just chose to leave out due to spacial constrictions, etc. Whatever the reason, every band has a few songs that're just sitting around. Record label Robotic Empire figured that out and made a sick 30-song compilation of them! Anyway, here's "Andy Low" by Torche.
So sayeth the band…
"This is a lost track we recorded for the Songs for Singles record in 2010. We weren't completely saatisfied with how it turned out and planned on rewriting it one day. One of the riffs got used in 'Letting Go' (Harmonicraft). It's a tune I kinda forgot about until Andy Low (pack rat) sent us a copy asking if we'd be into having this on his new comp. Sure, why not? If it wasn't for Mr Low, Rick and I wouldn't have met, Torche might not have existed and who knows where we'd all be today? We decided to call the song 'Andy Low' to make him uncomfortable/feel strange about his name as a song title AND because we love the hell out of him. 'Andy Low' is for our boy Andy Low/Robodog/Robotic Empire Records. Enjoy!"
There you have it, kids! Even the stuff that Torche thinks they could make better is still pretty damn good. You can check out the whole compilation right here and download it for free… but we suggest you pay a few bucks for it, because paying for your music is cool.
