Based in Lausanne, Switzerland, torpedo is a noise rock, post-proto punk, industrial, and psychedelic trio which give itself over to creating a contrasting and unleashed music, seeking the perfect mixture that will metamorphose the leaden world into light and sulfurous gold. A slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the walls and a skid on gravel, riding a shredded bike at full speed. Can you feel your knees?

The story began in 2016 with a psychedelic and alternative post-punk duo. Carro Loubère (the howling lyre scratchers) and Jay Liseron (the bass screed and diabolic rhythmics worker and scraper) have fun weaving songs like webs around the stars and planets twinkling above the undulating sea. A beautiful trip with drum machines.

The first Hammer arrived in 2017, followed by a recording session on the European fringes of stormy Ireland, buffeted by winds and washed by ocean waves, one February of 2018. The first LP, »Sphynx«, was released in 2019. A post-punk and grunge album floating on harsh vocals and raw guitars, around which the bass dances, accompanied by tireless and heady drums.

It was at this time, just before the album’s release, that the second kicker arrived: »Drew Hammer«! This was followed by the recording of a new album entitled »Orpheo_ Nebula« in 2020. The tracks were recorded live in their rehearsal space (not much choice at that time…), the band then worked extensively in the studio to create a form of devastated opera made of layers, collages, and experiments around six poems with sprawling references spanning the ages.

Released in 2022, »Orpheo_ Nebula« received a warm reception from the media, and the band completed two tours on the American West Coast. In addition, two singles were released in the meantime, »HOPE | DREAM« in 2023 and »La Mer Ondulée« in 2024 – a 4-minutes excerpt from a much longer, yet unreleased jam…

Today, the band is about to release a gut wrenching third album: »What The Fucked Do We All Do Now? | – Lights«, projecting us beyond the show, into the rawness of real life, that of you and me in our kitchens, weeping over a human world that has become unbearable for all the Living.

Toward the essential questioning we all have under our nose. Awaited that. This album will be released once again on the Californian label Broken Clover Records on June 21, 2025.
