WoeTorch

Many of us come from a background bred from hurt, heartache, abandonment, abuse.  We are WoeTorch, and our mission is to provide a safe space for audience members and listeners to be in their feels, remembering past events and venting emotions in a type of cathartic rage that underlies many of our alternative rock style music.  Our influencers, Tool, Linkin Park, Flyleaf and Evanescence to name a few, showed us how to be open and vulnerable, directing “negative” emotions through a positive outlet.

Our lead singer, for example, was raised in an abusive environment riddled with religious trauma and physical abuse.  Full of anxiety stemming from their fear for their own well being, our valiant leader had turned to self harm, anorexia, and thoughts of suicide. Listening to favorite bands like Hoobastank and Green Day and eventually journeying as a musician and lyricist has given them a voice, and we hope to share this feeling of self expression and liberty with you.
