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!
