The Greatest Demo in the World (2002)
Tracklist:
1. Jævla Mådder Fåkker
2. Mordi e Fin
3. Æ Har Nåkka å Fortæll
4. Det Ekke Nå Fus i Blues

6. Råkken Råll
The first incarnation of Austin Torpedo (then called Austin Torpedo & The Rolling Rocks). Recorded by Tom Rune (lead guitars, drums and lead vocals), Andreas (bass and rhythm guitars) and Anders (rhythm guitars).
At this point we were not a "real" band yet. However, this demo led to us finding Janek and Torgrim, thus completing AT's line-up.
This demo was produced, mixed and distributed by Andreas and Tom Rune. There are several different versions floating around with alternate tracklists and/or artwork).
Råkken Råll is the only song written during this period we still play live.

We weren't happy about the quality of the last EP and decided to go back to self producing again. Recorded in Kirkenes over the course of two weeks in the summer 2004. A few of the songs were rearranged and rerecorded songs from the Lakselv-sessions. Got 2 out of 5 stars in Scream Magazine who described the record as a bunch good songs recorded badly...
We still have about 50 copies left in a box somewhere. Give us a shout if you want one.

IV (2005)
Tracklist:
1. Ugly Bitch
2. Troubleman
3. Hail to the King
4. Cold Heart
By 2005, countless bars and festivals had witnessed the drunken fury of Austin Torpedo. We had become tighter as a group and our songwriting skills had greatly improved. This promo was recorded in just a few nights at our rehearsal space (just like the very first demo), and it somehow ended up being the best recordings of the band, even to this day.
We couldn't afford a proper release of this EP, so we went the cheap route and pressed it without a cover or booklet and instead gave it away for free in a plastic sleeve to promoters, bars and fans. Sadly also out of print, but it can be streamed in it's entirety from our Facebook or Reverbnation page or downloaded from NRK Urørt (see links).

Politihytta Sessions (2006)
Released tracks:
Wrong Turn
Rebel to the Bone
Last Day of December
Crowbar Jack
During the winter of 2006 we went into the woods of Pasvik to record what was to become our second album. During the course of three nights we recorded 11 songs live with the help of producer Tommy Johansen. We weren't completely happy with some of the recordings and decided to cut it back to an EP instead. However, because of the ever so infuriating financial problems (which also kept us from doing any real touring) and a general dissatisfaction of the final product it never got an official release. By the end of summer, the band went on an hiatus, and was more or less considered broken up.
During the bands downtime Tom Rune did a rough mix of a few songs and released them on NRK's Urørt website. Some of them are still available at Urørt and a new remix of Crowbar Jack can be found at our Reverbnation and Facebook page.
