Botch sign to Sargent House, re-releasing catalog to digital services

Influential mathcore band Botch have announced their signing to Sargent House today.

To celebrate, the band have re-released their entire catalog to digital services. The catalog includes two studio albums (We Are the Romans, American Nervoso), an EP (An Anthology of Dead Ends), a live album (061502), and a compilation album (Unifying Themes Redux). Botch will also re-release their catalog on vinyl next year.

In a press statement, the band said:

“We're continuously humbled by the ongoing interest in our band despite the fact that we've been broken up for nearly two decades. With the folding of Hydra Head Records in 2020, we were presented with the dilemma of figuring out how to keep the catalog available to both newly initiated and longtime fans. We were lucky to have the support of Sargent House, who are helping keep Botch's legacy alive by administering the digital catalog, curating the band's archive of photos and paraphernalia, and getting our records in the ridiculously long queues of vinyl pressing plants. We're happy to be part of the Sargent House family, excited to have our music back up online, and looking forward to exciting things in 2022.”

After splitting in 2002, members of Botch went on to form/join the bands These Arms Are Snakes, Minus The Bear, Russian Circles, Narrows, and Roy.
