On their debut full-length album …The Tragic Tale of Kim & Polly Jean, Nick Kraus & His Austin Torpedoes give twelve reasons why they are one of Austin’s hottest up and coming acts. Nick Kraus has been delivering his unique sound to the beer joints of Texas since 2005. Backed by his Austin Torpedoes, the band channels the likes of Johnny Cash, Gram Parsons, and Kurt Cobain to create a sound that’s distinctly, “Indie Rock Americana.”
