The Crushing Blow Plays The Freezer

Hurra Torpedo

Is this real or fake? A blog about a really odd Swedish band - Hurra Torpedo. The blog is called The Crushing Blow and just about sums up what they do, bang out 'tunes' on old kitchen equipment. (Well there had to be a food link somewhere!). There are plenty of video links including this one where the band 'plays' old freezer units in front of an enraptured group of six year olds. Odd.

1. Hurra Torpedo is a Norwegian band, not Swedish as reported above.
2. Also, they are a real band, I've been to 3 concerts the last 5 years. They've played for roughly 12 years.

Be warned, one of the guys has problems with his pants....you'll see.
