She began writing songs at just ten years old, and at 12, she was addicted to heroin. By the age of 16, she had gotten clean and started playing live gigs in her hometown of Austin, Texas. Now, she’s 21, six years clean and [recently released] her debut album Feel No Evil. Torrence shot a music video for the album’s first single, “Did To You,” a song about “love, loss, regret, pain, sorrow, change and realization.” “‘Did To You’ was inspired by a heavy, devastating time in my life,” Torrence says. “The evil that unfortunately occurs sometimes in the world, the sudden unjust death of a loved one, and dealing with life after he was taken from me. A heavy relationship. And the fallout or rather downward spiral that occurred from it all. But, ultimately, coming to terms with it, overcoming it, and learning a lot through life’s lessons and how they change you.” The music video features an eclectic series of flashback-style scenes filled with white balloons, an American flag, chil- dren in animal masks, a lace ball gown, an abandoned cemetery and more. “The term ‘fallen socialite gangster’ comes to mind,” Torrence says. “It starts with the fighting, and then the loss, and in the end, I’ve stared through myself, surrendered, broken away, overcome it all, and let it go. Even though it’s hard, there are things you can never get back, and never forget. You must acknowledge it, memorialize it, and lay it to rest. At the end of the video the American flag is held up in the way that you would hold up a white flag. It was a very surreal experience. Letting the balloons go almost brought tears to my eyes.” - Reprinted from American Songwriter, 7/18/2013 See the video on our website: http://www.rightarmresource.com. The UK’s DIY tells you “exactly why Bastille are brilliant” “Dan Smith is a storyteller. A self-confessed film obsessive, his love of theatrics has been well and truly been pinned to his sleeve since day one. What he probably won’t shout quite as loud, however, is that he’s also a magnificent musician. From the first notes of ‘Bad Blood’ these talents are wonderfully showcased. Throughout its twelve tracks, Smith has created a patchwork of vaguely sinister tales, referencing all manner of subject matter. Yet, whether his story is of two corpses twisted together as boiling ash engulfs them – album opener ‘Pompeii’ – or, ‘Laura Palmer’, the mysterious fic- tional murder victim, taken from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, the darkness remains enticing. Working with the pathos and intelligence of his words comes the juxtaposition of his sonic efforts. Coupling his some- what dark words with the uplifting chants and synths of ‘Overjoyed’ and ‘Flaws’, his music is a thrilling example of what great pop music can achieve. The beautiful part about ‘Bad Blood’ is that it is both entirely predictable yet completely disarming. Thanks to a previ- ous slew of EPs, singles and mixtapes, listening to this debut fills you with that instant sense of comfort and recognition, standing as an album you can have faith in. The remarkable part, though, is within the subtle intricacies lying layered within Smith’s songs. The exploration of any and all sounds; the delicate use of strings to heighten emotion, the touch- ing piano-based ‘Oblivion’. There are moments, instruments, timings, buried within his experimentation that take you entirely by surprise. Here is an artist who may be young, but has already got a firm handle on his craft. Having used his knowledge to cre- ate what feels like so much more than a debut, it’s exactly why Bastille are brilliant.” - thisisfakediy.co.uk, March 2013 Upcoming: 9/23: Dresses “Blew My Mind”... 9/30: Ha Ha Tonka “Rewrite Our Lives”...
