Press Reviews from Coffinz - http://www.coffinz.com - These guys were voted one of Arizona's top bands by KUPD. The fansupport and CD back it up. It is only 5 tracks, but well worth it. Thelast track is an instrumental, but is as evil as it gets. I've played this CD so many times and still can't pick a favorite. What stood outto me were the brutal vocals and evil keyboards. But not to overlookthe rest of this band. It takes all 5 to make them one of the best bandsin Arizona. Look for more music from Torque because there gonna be aroundfor quite a while. They are a must see band who always have a greatsupporting acts around them.
