'Turbo About' Turbo Fruits
By Alex on October 1, 2009 in mp3blog
"Naked With You." "Mama's Mad Cos I Fried My Brain." "Want Some Mo'." "Broadzilla."
Turbo Fruits, man - from the first fifteen seconds on the first track on the album ('Want Some Mo'), this band leaves no question as to what they're all about...Loud, Louder, Loudest. Starting out with the roar of a motorcycle, we dive headfirst into a chaotic fuckstorm of adolescent noise. I dare you to listen to that track and NOT see yourself in the drunken, sweaty crowd shouting "MO! MO! MO!" by the end. There are no dangling metaphors, no cryptic layers of sound, no samples of brazilian folk songs from the 50's - this is just straight up fucking rock. Yeah, sure, so maybe there are a bazillion other records out there that boast the same garage shit, but for some reason the Turbo Fruits have made it all sound new to me. Perhaps this is because the first album I ever bought with my own money was Green Day's "Dookie", and I'm just feeling a little nostalgic.
These aren't just another bunch of young punks that have no idea what they're doing -- two out of three of these self-proclaimed 'rambunctious dudes' were original members of Be Your Own Pet, another garage rock band from Tennessee that achieved a pretty huge following before they broke up a year ago. For fans of BYOP, the Turbofruits have a very similar sound - this time, they've jacked up the testosterone. For example, on their website's 'About' section, it gives a list of things the guys "enjoy very much" that includes:
-Shitting With the Door Open
-Riding and Making Love to Motorcycles
-Walking Around the House in Underwear
-"Big Ass Titties"
-Chainsaws
-Goin' really really fast
-Turnin' it Up
You get the point. Now download the tracks, and make sure to check out their album, "Echo Kid", that was released on Sept. 29th, and now can be found in the New Music section of the Record Library.
