The same thing happened to Stein’s former band, Be Your Own Pet, and, just like with BYOP, as this band’s sound evolves beyond its earliest, spazziest tendencies, they also seem headed toward more and more normative-sounding rock ‘n’ roll. Hell, there are moments where Jonas Stein’s vocals sound far more inspired by ‘80s metal than by anything that ever appeared on Crypt Records. Granted, on stage, the visceral, manic energy of Turbo Fruits imbues their music with considerable amounts of loose-limbed and wild-eyed electricity, but “garage rock” it is not. The construction and execution of a song like “Gamble Tamble” is thoughtful and considered…the song just happens to kick ass. These Nashville boys don’t make “garage rock”. The persistence of “garage rock” as a modifier for the music of Turbo Fruits is troubling.
