Torche was an American stoner rock/doom metal band hailing from Miami, Florida. Formed in 2004 by Steve Brooks after the breakup of his previous band Floor, Torche quickly gained recognition for their unique sound and powerful performances.

The original lineup consisted of *Steve Brooks*, *Juan Montoya*, *Jonathan Nuñez*, and *Rick Smith*. However, in late 2008, Montoya departed due to musical differences. Torche then enlisted touring guitarist Max before Andrew Elstner joined the band in 2011. Elstner left Torche in 2016, and Eric Hernandez took over his position.

After a successful run spanning nearly two decades, Steve Brooks announced his departure from Torche in May 2022. The band played their final concert on October 16, 2022 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA. With a heavy heart but a legacy that will endure, Torche bid farewell to their devoted fans.

Hydra Head Records is an independent record label specializing in heavy metal music. Founded in New Mexico by Aaron Turner, the frontman of Isis, in 1993, Hydra Head has grown to become a prominent player in the industry. With its imprint Hydra Head Noise Industries focusing on experimental and noise music, the label offers a diverse range of genres for music enthusiasts.

Originally established as a distribution company while Turner was still in high school, Hydra Head released its first record, a seven inch by local band Vent, in 1995. Over the years, it expanded its roster to include talented acts such as Cave In, Xasthur, Kayo Dot, Boris, and Jesu. Notable bands like Botch, Khanate, and Harkonen were also signed to Hydra Head before disbanding.

In September 2012, Turner announced that Hydra Head Records would be shutting down new releases but would continue to operate to pay off their debts and maintain their back catalogue. However, on May 10th, 2016, it was revealed that Hydra Head would release Oxbow's next album 'The Thin Black Duke.'

'songs for singles' is basically a super solid collection of singles. though nominally thought of as a doom band or sludge pop masters, it's beyond doubt that every crunch and thud here is torche and nothing else. a real cult prospect of epic proportions, any new torche release is a thing of wonder.
