Release Notes:
Influential hardcore innovators Botch have delivered their electrifying new live
album 061524, recorded at the iconic Showbox in Seattle on June 15, 2024ùexactly
22 years to the day after their original farewell show at the same venue in
2002. 061524 captures a band still pushing sonic and emotional boundaries, now
sharper, louder, and more dynamic than ever.
BotchÆs impact on aggressive music is undeniable. Their chaotic, math-laced
brand of hardcore helped shape the genreÆs landscape well after the bandÆs
abrupt breakup in 2002. For years, a reunion seemed unlikelyùuntil a chain of
unexpected events brought the original lineup back together for the bandÆs first
new recording in over 20 years: 2022Æs ôOne Twenty Two.ö The song was released
to critical acclaim, building into a frenzy of anticipation for Botch to
reunite. What started as a nostalgic experiment quickly became a full-circle
celebration, with the band reconnecting both personally and musically. That
spark unleashed a wave of activity: secret warm-up shows, sold-out headlining
gigs, and eventually a carefully curated international reunion tour, culminating
in their hometown return at the Showboxùwhere 061524 was recorded in front of a
packed, exhilarated crowd.
061524 is a blistering, unflinching document of a band reawakenedùnot as a
legacy act, but as a vital force. The album captures the energy, grit, and heart
of a group thatÆs not only older and wiserùbut more rehearsed and way more
ambitious. The performances are tight but still full of the raw unpredictability
that defined their early years. Fan favorites like ôTo Our Friends in the Great
White Northö and ôTransitions from Persona to Objectö are more complex and
invigorating than ever before. Other songs, like ôAfghamistamö and ôOma,ö never
considered feasible to pull off live previously, are delivered with the
intricacy and intensity that has earned the band a lasting legacy and fresh
legion of followers.
