Touche Amore and La Dispute are two of the best bands in hardcore music right now, so naturally it makes sense that at some point they would get together and create greatness. Well that’s exactly what this split gives you. Read on for my review, enjoy!

The B-Side belongs to La Dispute, which to me compliment what Touche Amore did with the A-Side. Their songs are a little bit slower but still get the message across. Their songs almost give a “build up” vibe and they handle keeping the rhythm of the split up. While their songs are longer than Touche Amore’s you do not feel bored at all and kinda wonder what just hit you.
As of now the split is only on vinyl and is completely sold out. It will be available on iTunes come October. If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a copy (coughMEcough) than you already know how cool the 7″ is. If this review interested you at all both bands have other releases out and they are all awesome. No really, they are all worth your hard earned money. If this is the direction hardcore is going into than I welcome it with open arms.
