![]() When we made this record, we spent more time in the studio because we had the luxury to do so. I'm happy to be with Epitaph, because they're local and we have friends who work there. When things turn to the advantages of being on a larger label, like Epitaph, Bolm explains, "I feel like the days of people caring what label you're at are long gone. He gives us plenty of space, and he's a great Q&A guy." We looked him up and realized he was local and since then we've developed a great relationship with him. "We listened to albums that we found sonically appealing, and the fact that he had worked on so many records we were into, like those first two Sunny Day Real Estate albums as an example he seemed like the best fit. We did our first record with Ed Rose when no one expected that, and we'd always liked what Brad had done in the past," he says. "We're always in the mindset of not doing what people expect us to do. The choice to do things with Wood but on a larger label wasn't by accident, explains Bolm.

Touche Amore's frequent tweaks of their sound over the years have led some critics to place them in spaces they would never dare call themselves. "Once you find punk rock, in a good way and sometimes in a bad way, it can stunt your growth." Even for a group that performs as much as they do, Bolm adds "our tenth-anniversary show will be on February 16 of next year and if the stars can align, we can make that our 1,000th show as well." "It doesn't feel that long in my brain," he says. While Touche Amore has been around about a decade, Bolm admits it doesn't feel as such. The Houston Press sat down with singer Jeremy Bolm ahead of Wednesday's upstairs show at White Oak Music Hall to talk about their past, the making of this record, and what they have in store for Houston this time. This week they're back in Houston as headliners of their own four-week outing. ![]() Last year the band released their strongest album to date, Stage Four, and toured with Basement as support acts on Thursday's coast-to-coast tour.
