The good news here is that Botch has signed to Sargent House to bring their incredibly influential back catalog to the masses on both physical and digital mediums. The bad news is that despite this signing, Botch is not reuniting. Bassist Brian Cook said on Twitter that the band is very excited to have their music once again available, but is not getting back together.
Here's what Botch had to say about signing to Sargent House.
"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," said Botch.
"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.”
