Turbo Fruits 'Turbo Fruits' album

Instead of taking a much needed break after releasing a debut album with their wildly popular band Be Your Own Pet and touring ‘til their faces turned blue in the past year, Jonas Stein and John Eatherly have decided to do what came naturally – start a new band and call themselves the Turbo Fruits! Tired yet? They aren’t! The Turbo Fruits have just recorded their self-titled debut album, a mix of punk, rock, blues, metal and sweaty, sweaty fun, coming out July 17th on Ecstatic Peace. Joining Turbo Stein and Turbo John on stage for extremely limited and exclusive shows (including Reading / Leeds Festivals) will be the mysterious Turbo Max, a bassist reportedly even skinnier than the members of BYOP.

Stay tuned for dates, including a July 26th stop at NYC’s Cake Shop, July 6th at Washington DC’s at Rock N Roll Hotel w/ Shearwater, and July 19th @ Hoboken, NJ’s Maxwells with The Black Lips.

Time Out New York: “Turbo Fruits’ effortlessly tuneful swagger reminds you in a flash that rock & roll is an either-you’ve got-it-or-you-don’t endeavor. This Nashville trio includes the guitarist and drummer from teen-punk sensations Be Your Own Pet but comes across as even more fun and raucous.”

Nashville Scene: “Turbo Fruits mine the punk rock spirit of the late ‘70s for their sound, a spastic mix of spunky MC5 giddy-up and glammy, feel-good guitar mayhem. Although the scenes they invoke were long dead before any of Turbo Fruits were even born, their frantic interpretations are irrepressibly fun, like a T. Rex record skipping. It’s hard to fathom a band with so much dope-smoking innuendo in their lexicon being as busy as they are, much less as fierce and, hell, lively as they sound on their recordings.”

XLR8R: "This Be Your Own Pet offshoot makes garage-rock the way it was meant–loose and bluesy, filled with lyrics about smoking dope, and by dudes under the age of 21. Just in time for summer, the sweaty foot stomping has begun."

Music For Robots: "Admittedly more indie than modern rock, they've got that loud pop thing going on. I love it…It's really quite good, full of everything you want a rock record to be.
