And writing a third album is by far the hardest, because the first one is easy: there are no expectations, you just do what you do and if people like it or if they do not…who cares! Your second album instead is very hard, because you have to prove yourself, it shows what you’ve become. Sometimes it’s hard to think in that way, because it’s your own art. You sometimes have to take a step back and think: “If I wasn’t in this band, do I like this album?”. When you make a new album, you’re nervous, you hope that everybody is gonna like it and you do your best to make a record that you yourself can appreciate. What are your feelings about your work, do you feel satisfied? And what is the feedback from fans and reviews? So many compliments for your last album, it seems to be very mature.

And their impassioned fanbases that remain strong over a decade later speak to their lasting power as musicians and performers.On 23th of May, we met Jeremy Bolm before the show at Vidia Club in Cesena ( here our live report - only in Italian), the singer from post-hardcore band Touché Amoré, who are now promoting in Europe their latest album, Is Survived By, released on the 24 th of September, 2013. ![]() When seen live either of these groups are a force all to themselves. Touche Amore does much the same, but with an increased ferocity to the instrumentation that imparts a sense of urgency that few bands can match. ![]() In fact they often take musical pauses and break into spoken word poetry sections – providing a unique showcase for their lyrics, which may sound more similar to the Decemberists than they would a punk outfit. Upon listening to either group, but particularly La Dispute you’re likely to be struck by the lyrical prowess of the band. The latter category is where La Dispute and Touche Amore thrive.
