Turbo Fruits
Friday, November 23rd at the Magic Stick Lounge
8PM, $10
Splitting their sound between jangle and ‘70s hard rock crunch, Turbo
Fruits are audacious rock and roll that can’t be lumped under the
often-misused term “garage”. As Paste accurately states, “the
persistence of ‘garage rock’ as a modifier for the music of Turbo Fruits
is troubling. These Nashville boys don’t make ‘garage rock’… they just
make rock ‘n’ roll.” And that’s just what you’re gonna get, southern
twang meddled with electric bursts of guitar shredding riffs fueled by whiskey binges and the adrenaline of tumbling around on your
electric hog. With a lyrical oeuvre that comes to amass the relatable
(picking up women in dive bars, drinking, weed, cigarettes, whiskey,
uncertainty, fighting with your friends), Turbo Fruits raw, gruff,
sweaty brand of rock and roll is, as Consequence of Sound stated, the
soundtrack to “a smoke-cloaked house party” where your vision is swirly
just like their riffs.
