SKOPE MAGAZINE by SKOPE MAGAZINE
AUGUST 2008 SONICBIDS “ARTISTS 2 WATCH” August 6, 2008 Four of this month’s Sonicbids Artists to Watch have international connections and the other four are homegrown. But there is nothing roots about any of these artists. The majority of them are metal and alt-rock bands, with two lyricists in the mix. International Connections: Torch Le Monde (“burn the world”) has created a fan frenzy in the band’s hometown of Sydney, Australia, and catapulted them onto the international scene. They will be appearing in New York and LA in October. Their blend of pop lyrics and blazing rock riffs that drift in and out of metal is a refreshing mix, and their irreverence on stage will win them many US fans

Torch Le Monde at The Gaelic by Last FM
Torch Le Monde @ The Gaelic [- Hide] LAST FM - The Social Music Revolution Gig review: A Sound Mind + Torch Le Monde @ Gaelic... Gig review: A Sound Mind + Torch Le Monde @ Gaelic Club, 14th March 2008. 14 Mar 2008, 16:09 The second band to play that evening, and by far the most memorable, was Sydney's Torch Le Monde. Again, if you've never even heard the name of these guys, you'll be looking at something like Van Halen crossed with classic Thin Lizzy with some mild Steve Vai thrown in there. To put it blandly, these guys rocked! I was almost going to miss out on this band and grab a bite to eat before A Sound Mind started their set...but am I ever glad I decided to stick around for this. The amount of energy and brilliance radiating from Torch Le Monde was almost breathtaking. My hat goes off to the McDonald brothers (Joel/guitars and Jordan/drums) for creating a blend of Aussie rock/metal that sets them apart from all other would-be "bands". The most enthralling moment of the show was not Joel McDonald's amazing guitar solos but rather the epic guitar battle between McDonald and eccentric vocalist, Simon Hill. While one (Hill) played some snazzy, yet utterly bitchin', melodies and notes the other (McDonald) would proceed to pull off some "guitar wankery" to completely decimate his "competition". It wasn't until the near end of the battle where both axemen would combine together and end on a high. There really isn't anything negative I can say about Torch Le Monde except WRITE MORE SONGS!!! Seriously, I need much, much, MUCH more Torch Le Monde other than the four songs off their amazing self titled EP. All four young men are very, very talented and dedicated musicians. If it's not the catchy basslines, it's the technical guitar solos. If not the blarring double kicks, it's the vocal range of Simon Hill. If you're a fan of pure Aussie metal and/or rock, keep your eyes peeled for their next live show and be sure to pick up a copy of their EP.
