About
Also known as: Touche Amoure
Touché Amoré are a post-hardcore band from Los Angeles whose sound Stereogum once described as what arena hardcore might look like if it existed. Formed in 2007, the band — vocalist Jeremy Bolm, guitarists Clayton Stevens and Nick Steinhardt, bassist Tyler Kirby, and drummer Elliot Babin — are seen as key figures in "the wave", a movement of American post-hardcore acts that emerged in the late 2000s and early 2010s alongside La Dispute, Defeater, Pianos Become the Teeth, and Make Do and Mend. Pitchfork has called them "reliably cathartic and anthemic melodic post-hardcore", and six studio albums — from ...To the Beat of a Dead Horse in 2009 through to Spiral in a Straight Line in 2024 — back that up.
