Torps 2020 photo07_edited.jpg

Torpedoes are a post-punk/punk/goth-tinged relic. A beautiful, irreverent relic! A four-piece band, playing original compositions that are well-crafted, considered and questioning. At a time of short attention spans, throwaway music and five-minute wonders, doing what they do and playing what they play makes them a relic.  But Torpedoes don’t care and neither should you.

They’ll do what they do best, have a laugh and keep playing their music - that’s what makes them compelling.

If your musical tastes lie somewhere around Killing Joke, The Damned, The Cure, Muse, Cardiacs, Joy Division etc then you should probably listen to Torpedoes.  If you have a short attention span, like throwaway music and five-minute wonders you can either jog on and have a lovely day or take a moment to expand your horizons a little bit!
