Album lore

Cut The Plans, released in May 2003 on Berlin’s Sinnbus label, captures Torchous amid the city’s early-2000s noise rock and post-hardcore ferment. The album’s ten tracks, including “Center,” unfold with jagged bass hooks and a raw immediacy that aligns with the local “jute mugge” ethos—a term for gritty, unvarnished German indie rock. Torchous’s approach eschews polish for an urgent, almost lo-fi intensity, framed by angular guitars and restless rhythms.This record stakes a modest claim in the lootcore lineage, its ten songs threading through episodes of tense melody and abrasive bursts. With a modest tally of Last.fm listeners and scrobbles, Cut The Plans remains a quietly persistent artifact of Berlin’s underground scene circa 2003, offering a snapshot of noise rock’s crosscurrents before the city’s later electronic dominance.
