well, list could be made long with obscure artists, but basically Rockabilly, Punk, Country, Surf and Blues in various forms.
Sharing a common vision of raw and wild rockabilly-music with influence from punk, country, surf and also hillbilly and mexican 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 heartbroken people 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.
They started recording their debut ”Los Pobros Diablos” which was released in january 2009. The record contains 12 tracks of wickedly cool mexicana and rockabilly songs. Check it out through Interpunk.com or order it at ginza.se
Eyeballin’ Torpedoes is really all about three guys havin’ a good time and playin’ the music they love, and it shows!

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
