Photos: BOTCH (Boston, MA) – 2023/11/17

Mathcore Legends BOTCH broke up in 2002 before they could complete a third album, with the members going on separate ways forming other bands including Russian Circles, These Arms Are Snakes, Minus the Bear, and Narrows. It was quite a surprise when it was announced their albums were being reissued, not to mention a new song “One Twenty Two.” The only two albums released by the band, American Nervoso (1998 – Hydra Head) and We Are the Romans (1999 – Hydra Head), were reissued last year via Sargent House who also re-released their entire digital catalog.

To celebrate the reissue, BOTCH would reunite for a show in Washington, which ended up expanding to three nights to facilitate the demand, and eventually a tour making appearances across the country with friends in Sumac, Converge, Cave In, Primitive Man, Kowloon Walled City, Uniform, Helms Alee, Portrayal Of Guilt, and others on select dates.
