First press quotes! We already told you about the German ignorance towards the Torpedo Boyz – finally the German press has also discovered us by now. Here are a few of many, many amazing press quotes! „Here they are again and they’re firing on all cylinders! The sound of the Boyz will make you shake your bootie. Highly infectious! (Raveline) „‘Return Of The Ausländers‘ will put the scene into ecstasy again - guaranteed.” (Sound Base) „Their music is even being used in Russian blockbusters. Only in Germany their fame has to wait. But this album should change that. Here, the five-piece from Berlin combine snappy beats, smart lyrics and inspirations from Giorgio Moroder to the Muppet Show together with electrifying jump-around-pop-hits…(Kulturspiegel) „The Torpedo Boyz from Berlin manage to combine party hits with loads of fun. This CD guarantees 100% excelllent enjoyment! (Bravo) “From the very beginning the works of TORPEDO BOYZ seemed blessed. (…) It is however the surprisingly unpredictable end of an album that has a pile of good ideas in stock for its listeners and doesn’t forget to add a whole lot of humour to the mixture.” (reflectionsofdarkness) “Driving Breakbeats, funky basslines, some catchy vocals, a whole bunch of samples and a special fun factor that makes people feel good, no matter if they're electronic music lovers or not.” (nitestylez) * Torpedo Boyz – Return Of The Ausländers (limited edition deluxe 10-track-CD, LR 072-10, on Lounge Records /Our Distribution - OUT NOW!) Unfortunately thank god no more a secret hot tip: „Ich bin Ausländer (leider zum Glück)“ Once handled as the secret hot tip track of the album „Ich bin Ausländer (leider zum Glück) (= I’m a foreigner (unfortunately thank god)) has evolved into an unexpected hit among school kids. We were told that mp3s of this track are being heavily exchanged on German school yards. No joke! This might also explain why „Ich bin Ausländer“ can now be found in several German radio playlists even without any radio plugging. And saving the best for last: the Torpedo Boyz are currently working on a music video for this song! Be prepared fellows – we already saw bits of it: this clip will make you wanna get naked!!! “The Disco Song” – “Making Of” video online now! It’s been a while... Some two years ago the Torpedo Boyz starred in a video for their disco smash hit „The Disco Song“ (from the album „Cum On Feel The Boyz“). We thought the “Making Of” tape got lost but just recently it has been discovered again! You can tell the Boyz had a great time making this clip and we thought we shouldn’t hide this from you. By the way the song underneath this film is not “The Disco Song” but „Where Is Tony Masao?“, also taken from „Cum On Feel The Boyz“.
