Release Notes:
With summer just around the corner, it is almost quintessential that
Nashville based Turbo Fruits should return to our shores, their brand
of whiskey doused garage-rock is the perfect soundtrack to long hazy
days and drawn-out evenings. 'Get Up Get On Down', the second single
from the recently released 'Echo Kid', is insanely addictive, with
urgent riffs and tumbling drums wrapped around lead singer Jonas
Stein's lascivious tones. "Tonight is going to be alright with you in
my sights," Jonas commands ûwhen sung in his lusty drawl it is hard not
to succumb to such a simple assertion.
Turbo Fruits' dude-swagger certainly caught the attention of Drew
Barrymore: 'Get Up Get On Down' soundtracks her directorial debut, the
rollergirl derby riot 'Whip It!' starring Ellen Page, Juliette Lewis
and Barrymore herself, about an indie-rock loving outcast who seeks
refuge in the high speed sports phenomenon. The band also plays a
typically ballsy show in the movie, featuring two other songs and an
appearance by Jonas in a speaking role. Being play-listed on Drew
Barrymore's own personal and impeccable mix tape suggests Turbo Fruits
have really stamped their mark with their raspy, vintage rock & roll.
Although originally envisioned as a Be Your Own Pet side project û the
band released a praised debut in 2007- the dissolution of BYOP clearly
provided a renewed vigour and focus. The sophomore album 'Echo Kid',
which emerged to critical acclaim at the end of last year, showcased a
band slashing blues with punk, shambolic yet razor sharp in equal
measure.
The EP, released as a digital download only, contains both outtakes
from the album and brand new tracks.
