   About The Torrents
Our music video for A GROUND BELOW:


Our music video for THUNDERCLAP:


The Torrents are Eddie, Kitti, and Reggie and are based in Baltimore, Maryland.

Eddie and Kitti met in 2004 electro-industrial rock group Stockholm Syndroem as that band was coming to an end. Both of them found new depth and focus to their songwriting as the collaboration narrowed down to two people and a computer. Kitti's voice and lyrics began to dance between tantalizing, understated mystery and trumpeting, multicolored waves of raw darkness, while Eddie's guitar work and arrangements ranged from stylishly atmospheric to jagged, psychotic scrawling written in sound. The Torrents recorded a 6-song, self-titled EP, worked through different incarnations of accompanying musicians, and played live shows with digital backing tracks to support their performance.

Reggie is the young, furious, devoutly musical drummer that became a Torrent in 2006. A huge fan of Tool, and on an endless quest to find great new music, he helped turn the Torrents into a rocking live act. The chemistry between the three of them now produces new songs that come as much out of their twisted cerebrums as from the raw boiling pot of live jams and experimentation.

The Torrents combine music that is intense, grandiose, melancholy, manic, and/or dreamlike. All this, while generally rocking your brains out. Let us supervise you.
