Apr 15th – TURBO FRUITS
'GET UP GET ON DOWN'
NEW EP RELEASED DIGITALLY 14 JUNE ON ARK RECORDINGS

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 –when 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 – 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.
