Botch was an American mathcore band formed in 1993 in Tacoma, Washington. The group consisted of Brian Cook on bass, Dave Knudson on guitar, Tim Latona on drums, and Dave Verellen as vocalist. Botch released several demos and EPs before signing to Hydra Head Records. Their first notable release was the EP Faction in 1995. In 1998, they released their debut studio album, American Nervoso, through Hydra Head Records. The band toured extensively with acts like The Dillinger Escape Plan and Jesuit. Their second studio album, We Are the Romans, was released in 1999. Creative differences led to the band's disbandment in 2002. After their split, Hydra Head released an EP titled An Anthology of Dead Ends in 2006. The band reunited briefly for performances from 2022 to 2024.
