| I'm back to updating my music website and cannot find ANY info on a free download I got years ago. There seems to be zero band info, history, anything on Torque - anyone here know ANYTHING about this band ?
Thanks ahead of time !

| Here is a tiny bit more info from Firestream.
http://www.firestreamvault.com/album.php?id=9612
Basically this is Greg Sweet from the Western Washington band Watchmen. I believe he recorded these tracks with his brother and few other musicians and released them as MP3 files only on his personal website. At one point he recorded a 8th song and repackaged it with the Torque tracks under the band name "Eldon's Machine" this was also just an MP3 released on his website. At one time he had these tracks for free if you signed up to his website, but it looks like they might all be for sale now.

Were you living in Western Washington when they were playing? Did you ever get to see them live? I never even heard of the band until long after they had retired.

| I never saw them live but I remember running across their demo. Or one of my friends had a copy. Anyway, they were certainly part of up and coming and/or unknowns at the time. | |

| I was in Western Washington between 1980 and 1987 but never even heard of Bloodgood or Watchmen. I knew of several of the other local bands like Queensryche, Rail, Perennial, Fifth Angel, Metal Church, Lipstick, Ruff Toiz, Panic, Myth etc., but for some reason Bloodgood and Watchmen went right under my radar. I saw and old concert flyer a few years back for an old 80's show (at one of the venues that doesn't even exists anymore) that had Watchmen along with a few other local bands. Sure wish I could remember where I saw it.

Glad we were able to help, most of the times you come up with this really obscure stuff I have never heard of before.

| Now Bloodgood, I did get to see a few times. Mark Welling used to play in Perrenial. I can only remember a few of the local Christian bands, Bethlehem Steele, The Reach, I even remember seeing Poor Ol' Lu in their early days. I would have bet money back then that they weren't going anywhere. | |

Would you mind if I borrow that time machine someday? I have a few ideas of what to do/where to go visit myself. | |
