Available now is the Patriarchy live video “No Touch Torture” following their “Suffer With Me (Live in London)” album. “No Touch Torture” was recorded during a Los Angeles gig perfectly fusing electronics, darkwave, and metal.

The band is signed to Apollon Record AS, a label based in Bergen, Norway.

With a European tour, including some big festival appearances, looming this Spring and Summer, this video perfectly shows what you can expect. The tour will promote the band’s June 2025 LP, “Manual For Dying”, and its lead single “Boy On A Leash,” produced by Twin Shadow.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
