As you probably know, Torche are about to release a new album, Restarter, and they have found an original way to promote the record. Torche band members have joined Mario, Gordon Freeman and Zelda, as the quartet become video game characters in Torche vs. Robots: Annihilation Affair. The desktop based, single-player, side-scrolling game allows players to pick their favorite band member on a quest to save Miami from becoming a post-apocalyptic wasteland. You can have a bit of fun with it here.

A mobile version will be released shortly.

Fans who play the game are eligible to win a prize pack that includes Restarter on vinyl, a t-shirt, two tickets to see Torche on tour and stickers. To enter, contestants must upload a video to YouTube which shows them beating the game with the hash tag #torchevsrobots. One prize pack per band member/character will be awarded with winners picked on February 23rd.




Their new album drops via Relapse Records on February 24th.
