Eyeballin' Torpedoes

Sharing a common vision of raw and wild rockabilly-music with influence from punk, country, surf and also hillbilly, blues and other American roots music, The two brothers (if it ain´t family, it ain´t country) Martin and Bob started Eyeballin’ Torpedoes in 2004. They were both in-between bands. At first it was just about writing some songs. Soon they realized the songs and the swing was just too hip to be wasted.
Alex joined during 2004 and shortly after they recorded the 4-track cd "In Stereo where available" in the rehearsal room, using whatever crappy equipment available. The sound quality wasn’t all-that, but the record was still quite a success. The title song "Devil on my trail" was picked out to represent Sweden on Empire Records huge compilation album featuring contemporary rockabilly-bands from all across Europe. And the tune "Drown myself in Sorrow" was favored by many a heartbroken men around the world. The songs also attained some airtime as well as being used as a jingle on a Canadian psychobilly station and featured as soundtrack in custom-car show movies.
In the beginning of 2006 Alex left the band. And it didn´t take very long before a new drummer emerged. Ante was a perfect member for Eyeballin’ Torpedoes! He has a long and genuine love for rockabilly and country music and has also played in quite a few garage and punk-bands. Since Ante joined the band has been playin’ in clubs, festivals and also made a TV-appearance. At this point the guys are working on a new full-length record.
Eyeballin’ Torpedoes is really all about three guys havin’ a good time and playin’ the music they love, and it shows! Right now all they wanna do is play live as much, and loud, as possible.. Two timin' mama
