Performances
TORQUE did several concerts after their second album, where they did a tour to several nations including: Tessan, Isopolypeno, Fissilius, Paesiodon, Pesseton, Timbaire, Cradivor, and other countries. The most crowded concert was the Tessopoli Intermediate Convention Center, where the tickets for the 10,000 seats sold out within three hours.

Early Formation and the First Song
Each of the early 10 members attended musical vocational school for Perfect Fifth Records. There, they were placed together to form the proto-band (initially called Rotatio~ Tessarion: Rotation). They underwent the long selection process, each time moving in rank, and occasionally eliminating a member to either improve the group's sound, effect, look, and balance. Most notably would be Itarac Ittes, who would later be involved in the Terry conspiracy. By the time the band had gained investors, they had reached their current numbers at six members, and by suggestion of the investors, they band would rename themselves TORQUE. Their first song was written by all of the members of TORQUE--entitled "Essifiodes Inton Tuniden Strandulis" (Flowers in Your Hair). It was not part of any album, but used as a "preview to TORQUE's potential in being a T-pop artist, which is very competitive," said manager Onten Usurulisse

Pugiliant
Inspired by his childhood boxing coach, he began to work with producer Oiterics Lutinen. It was a big hit following "Essifiodes Inton Tuniden Strandulis." The first (of many) fansites was set up, quickly gaining over 5,000 members. This first fansite was called "The Mechanics" referencing to TORQUE as an application to mechanics and physics.

Reformatte Tunit Societe
This album was written as a response to the growing popularity of Isopolypenian band electrenradioPunk. It's themes were darker and more subversive, but it still had a light and pop-y feel to it. Here, Terry was charged with assault by past TORQUE (called Rotatio at the time) member Itarac Ittes. He claimed that Terry hit him, and beat him if he did not perform to his expectations. While Terry Ricks was convicted not guilty, it put a damper on TORQUE's rise. Terry, and TORQUE's fanclub membership dropped by 15%, and the trial delayed the album's release. Later, Terry sued Itarac Ittes in a court case under charge of slander and purposeful defamation. The charge passed, and Itarac was charged guilty, and forced to make reparations?. However, all of the lies had been spread. A new fanpage popped up that questioned Terry's actions, and defended Itarac Ittes. It was titled, "Rights for Ittes"

Dansant Inton Sel Precipite
This album was inspired by the Eston Film Festival, where Terry had starred in a small Tessarion drama. TORQUE wrote several songs for the television show that were later compiled into the album Dansant Into Sel Precipite after the show's name "Precipite Dance" (Rain Dance).
