Touche Amore – Is Survived By: Revived (Blue/Green Split Vinyl)

The Touche Amore Is Survived By: Revived (Blue/Green Split Vinyl) vinyl is a reissue pressing of one of the most emotionally direct records to come out of the post-hardcore scene in the last fifteen years, now available on a visually striking split-color format through Deathwish Inc.

Touche Amore and the Weight of Is Survived By

Touche Amore are a Los Angeles post-hardcore band who built their reputation on raw, unflinching songwriting and a live presence that consistently outpaces their recorded output in intensity. That said, Is Survived By, originally released on Deathwish, is the record that pushed them into a wider conversation. It is a dense, urgent album that moves fast and hits hard, with vocalist Jeremy Bolm’s words sitting right at the front of everything. The production is controlled but never sterile, giving the band room to build and collapse without losing urgency. Across twelve tracks, from the opening momentum of “Just Exist” through to the title track closer, the album maintains a focus that a lot of records in this genre lose halfway through. Guest appearances from Julia Blake on “Blue Angels” and Jon Simmons on “Steps” add moments of contrast without breaking the record’s internal logic.

Why This Touche Amore Is Survived By: Revived (Blue/Green Split Vinyl) Pressing Matters

Deathwish have always been deliberate about their vinyl releases, and this Revived edition is no exception. The blue and green split vinyl is the kind of pressing that exists for people who care about what a record looks like on the platter, not just what it sounds like through the speakers. Split-color pressings at this quality level are genuinely appealing as physical objects, and for a back-catalog title like this one, a dedicated reissue in a distinct format is the label acknowledging ongoing demand from a collector base that does not settle for standard black repress. If you missed the original run or have been waiting for a version worth seeking out, this is a legitimate reason to own it on wax.

Who Should Own This Record

If you follow Deathwish’s catalog at all, this belongs in your collection. Fans of dense, melodic post-hardcore who prioritize records with real lyrical stakes and tight arrangements will find a lot to return to here. The twelve-track sequence holds together well enough that side A to side B feels like an intentional listen, not a playlist. The split vinyl format also makes this a strong shelf piece for collectors who track limited color variants from independent labels. Deathwish does not over-press these runs, and Revived editions tend to move.
