Press

“Al Torchia & The Tattered Saints out of Tampa, Florida thrash out rock anthems created by the over-driven guitars, low bottom bass, thunderous drums and growling rock sax that isn't far removed from the great Mr Springsteen. The lyric content is also what you might expect from this type of genre, growing up in American life and the everyday struggles and triumphs getting through it. I have to say that I wasnt expecting to enjoy this record as much as I do - American Glory is an accomplished album, worthy of your time and money if you're into this sound (which, face it, you should be).”

— Brendan T , Sonic Masala

“There’s something incredibly safe and polite about “American Glory” There’s no doubt the man puts his all into each verse Ten seconds into each song and you are convinced this is an album you’d leave in your CD player. ”

— Joe Williams, The Red & Black (University of Georgia’s daily newspaper)

“It felt like I was listening to Springsteen in a different way”

— DJ White Shirt , WBUL Radio

“Al Torchia and the Tattered Saints from right here in Tampa Bay by way of Asbury Park, NJ put on one of the best live sets of any band in the area.”

— Craig Adams, Lovers Lament Entertainment

“If you like Bruce Springsteen, you might like Al Torchia & The Tattered Saints”

— Beverly Capshaw , 88.5 WMNF

“Tampa’s Al Torchia is a solid rocker who adds Springsteen-esque sax and soul to his all-American style”

— Julie Garisto , Creative Loafing
