How Can I Be Down

About Me

Torpedo is a small record label from Malmö in Sweden. Although I am into many styles of music the label only releases melodic pop. With the exception of Move Along all releases have been in digipak or paper sleeve, hand numbered and limited to 1000 copies.
Torpedo Records has released CDs by Jack And The Beanstalk, Happydeadmen, The Pendletones, The Spyders, Lola Barbershop, & Joe Algeri.
Nowadays I keep the website going mostly with reviews (to the greatest extent courtesy of Goran Obradovic ( Popism )), articles and a small mail-order.
If you are interested in more information, buying CDs, reading reviews (over 800 now) you are welcome to visit the Torpedo website .
