July Talk - Touch X Tour

July Talk brings the Touch X Tour to The Bronson in Ottawa on March 25, 2026. Formed in 2012 in Toronto, the band shapes a lean, tense strain of alternative rock where rough blues textures and post-punk edges meet sharper pop contours. At the core is the vocal interplay between Peter Dreimanis and Leah Fay Goldstein: his grainy baritone set against her clearer timbre, trading lines, overlapping harmonies and sudden breaks that hold the songs in a steady push and pull.

On stage, that dialogue anchors a set that draws from Touch, Pray for It and Remember Never Before, shifting from tight stomps to more spacious pulses without losing the bite of guitars, bass and drums. Riffs stay clipped, grooves elastic, arrangements direct, leaving room for the voices to carry the melodies and set the mood. The show leans on contrast—shadow and light, rasp and shine—so each chorus lands like a conversation in motion. Touch X frames this chemistry with a tracklist built for movement and close-range detail, keeping the focus on dynamics, rhythm and the tension between two distinct voices.
