Touch Committee is pure rock, driving and distorted, pulsing and off-kilter.

Bio
With the new year, Touch Committee Worldwide brings you word of their new album!
Completed throughout the previous year of Ought-Eight, this is a culmination of the band's past four years of hard work. Clocking in at three quarters of an hour, these dozen songs take you on an emotional journey from coast to coast and all points in between. Behind the facade of topics as diverse as public transportation, serial killing, chopping wood, and the Civil War lies the story of how people relate to each other, and facing your own mortality. Heavy shit, right? These glistening slabs of reality are served to you on a platter of guitars, lots and lots of guitars. To continue the food metaphor, its really like a guitar Hofbrau.
Production and knob-twiddling was handled by Jack Shirley at his Atomic Garden Studios, nestled safely deep inside East Palo Alto, California.
