Influential hardcore innovators Botch have delivered their electrifying new live album
061524, recorded at the iconic Showbox in Seattle on June 15, 2024—ехactly 22 years
to the day after their original farewell show at the same venue in 2002. 061524 capturesa band still pushing sonic and emotional boundaries, now sharper, louder, and more
dynamic than ever.

Botch's impact on aggressive music is undeniable. Their chaotic, math-laced brand of
hardcore helped shape the genre's landscape well after the band's abrupt breakup in
2002. For years, a reunion seemed unlikely-until a chain of unexpected events broughtthe original lineup back together for the band's first new recording in over 20 years:
2022's "One Twenty Two."The song was released to critical acclaim, building into a
frenzy of anticipation for Botch to reunite. What started as a nostalgic experiment
quickly became a full-circle celebration, with the band reconnecting both personally andmusically. That spark unleashed a wave of activity: secret warm-up shows, sold-out
headlining gigs, and eventually a carefully curated international reunion tour,
culminating in their hometown return at the Showbox-where 061524 was recorded in
front of a packed, exhilarated crowd.

061524 is a blistering, unflinching document of a band reawakened—not as a legacy
act, but as a vital force. The album captures the energy, grit, and heart of a group that's
not only older and wiser—but more rehearsed and way more ambitious. The
performances are tight but still full of the raw unpredictability that defined their early
years. Fan favorites like "To Our Friends in the Great White North" and "Transitions from
Persona to Object" are more complex and invigorating than ever before. Other songs, like"Afghamistam" and "Oma," never considered feasible to pull off live previously, are
delivered with the intricacy and intensity that has earned the band a lasting legacy and
fresh legion of followers.
