Torpedo is the sparkling alliance of four confused kids all
living in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. The members, also
found in acts like Tiger Lou, the Je Ne Sais Qoui, Starmarket,
the Crystal Committee etc, got together during the rainy
summer of 2004 and gave birth to this unstoppable spectacle.
Before there even was a band the two guitarists, Pontus and
Andreas, went and recorded three songs in early July 2004 at
their friend, Love Martinsens, studio. The result turned out
even better than expected and they knew they had to move up to
the next level. But there was still a few important pieces
missing in the puzzle, a bass player and a drummer. Erik
WelΘn, old friend and band mate with Pontus in Tiger Lou, was
the given man for the job as bass player. Finding the funky
drummer was going to be a bigger task, but after a few weeks
with the searchlights Jimmy Ottosson from the excellent "the
Je Ne Sais Qoui" came from nowhere and filled the hole with
his greatness. The puzzle was now complete and the game could
begin at last.
The band went back into the studio and completed the recording
of their debut EP "Anticlockwise". Strange Fruit Recordings
was the lucky label to release their EP They went on a short
tour together with Tiger Lou. As we, at Riptide Recordings,
were a couple of days on tour with them we quickly became
friends with Torpedo and as they rocked so hard we decided to
release the songs from their EP on the other side of the Las
Puertas 12ö.
Torpedo creates modern pop music with furious energy and
overwhelming melodies. Frantic guitars, throbbing bass lines,
static drumming and heartfelt vocals are the main ingredients
of their shimmering sound. ItÆs just a matter of seconds
before Torpedo controls the airways. This was just the first
chapter of long and beautiful fairytale, next chapter is
writing itself as we speak.
