Don't go into a Touché Amoré show expecting a gentle, easy listening experience. It's going to be emotionally quite brutal - both on and off the stage. Truth be told, fans of the band wouldn't have it any other way. It's due in no small part to vocalist Jeremy Bolm, who lays it all bare through the band's introspective, intense collection of songs. He's the kind of lyricist that people get tattoos of and the kind of frontman that will have people screaming in his face - so it's almost a surprise to talk to him in a state of calmness and tranquillity before a show at Sydney's Factory Theatre. Bolm has stories for days - this podcast could have probably gone on another couple of hours. For now, though, 45 minutes is plenty.

Touché Amoré's latest album is Stage Four.
