about

maximumrocknroll.com (USA) Feb 2023 FRUIT TONES have the ’60s-inspired garage revival sound completely nailed down. From the jangle and chime of their lo-fi guitars, to the Jagger-on-benzos vocal delivery, these Manchester (UK) freaks deliver just the right blend of charm and sleaze to make things interesting. There’s a touch of early BLACK LIPS and a hint of REIGNING SOUND lurking beneath the paisley-patterned façade, but FRUIT TONES stick mostly to their roots. This album fits into the Alien Snatch catalog like Lux Interior fit into a pair of sweaty leather pants…exquisitely. (MC)

addtowantlist.com NOV 2022 Pink Wafer Factory is the second full length of Manchester (UK) trio Fruit Tones. If the name Fruit Tones evokes bubblegum associations, you are not necessarily wrong. But bubblegum only accounts for a small part of the band’s sound, and primarily in the vocal melodies. Above all, Fruit Tones sound too dirty, too loud, too sleazy and too rock’n’roll to place them in the bubblegum category. A more apt comparision of the sound of Fruit Tones is early Stones, or even better: recent bands that do a garage take on the Stones like Natural Child. In fact, I am fairly certain you will like Pink Wafer Factory if you like Natural Child – particularly the more uptempo work of that band. Pink Wafer Factory is the kind of record that combines ’60s and ’70s rock’n’roll nostalgia with craftmanship and provides contemporary fun. It’s the kind of music that is best experienced live, but I believe the recordings have captured that energy and spontaneity nicely. Buy this one with zero regret guarantee, but if you need more reason to give this band a chance, note that the LP is released by the always delivering Alien Snatch! Records.(Niek)

greennoiserecords.com (US) June 2022 While the name of this UK band and title of this album suggests bubblegum, this is garage punk rock n roll, ABC gum that was stuck to the bottom of a counter back in 1974, Chuck Berry and Motown dragged into the garage and through the second half of the 1960s and especially the first half of the 1970s, peeled off and chewed back to life with spit and teeth, a big filthy glob that had been chewed up in the mouths of Lou Reed, the Heartbreakers, Television, the Dolls, the Alice Cooper Group, the Stooges, The Kinks, Mott the Hoople, and especially The Rolling Stones.(mw)

mitocadiscosdual.blogspot.com NOV 2022 Son de UK y son de lo mejor del garage de las Islas.Como si se trata de Downliners Sect un poco más bizarros pero efectivos e impactantes . De lo ,mejorcito salido del lugar del Brexit en mucho y mucho tiempo

monstres-sacres.blogspot.com (FR) Dec 2022 Encore une merveille du label Alien Snatch Records. Ce groupe de Manchester nous livre son deuxième opus. Ils ont assimilé le meilleur des Stones, du Velvet et de ... à vous de trouver ??. Une grande touche de rock garage en plus et le tout mélangé dans un mixeur à haute-tension. Le résultat est de la pure énergie ! (CR)

VOIX DE GARAGE June 2020 Voici le 2ème album de ce trio de Manchester, leur 1er chez Alien Snatch Rds ! Moi je les découvre avec ce « Pink Wafer Factory » et je suis emballé dès la 2ème écoute, tant cet album est hyper emballant ! Ici j’entends un qui n’ignore pas son héritage musical national, avec un fort goût de R&Beat 60’s, et de biens bons côtés Medway Scene. À cela ils adjoignent une touche d’Exotica, de Psych Garage, de Bubble Gum (enfin là je trouve ça moins évident). J’entends beaucoup de la vibration originelle du Rock’n’Roll, un peu (vraiment un peu) des Ramones pour le côté frais, vif, emballant et mélodique, et surtout en restant loin des clichés. Pour faire bon poids, on rajoute un morceau Indie Surf Pop dans un coin. Et aussi un poil de Pub Rock (au service de sa Majesté oblige). 12 chansons. Des vraies, en 38 mn. C’est frais, sautillant, vraiment bien varié, notamment grâce aux variations de rythmiques d’un titre à l’autre, et également parce que le chanteur chanteur sais bien moduler sa voix, et que le jeu des musicien est assez subtile pour donner à chaque moment la vibration qu’il faut !!! (BT)

RUMORE.COM (IT) JAN 2023 "Giorni felici, giorni passati, giorni dorelli (cit. Marco Pecorari): mi risuona questa frase nel mentre gira l’album del trio garage r’n’r di Manchester, dalla testa ai piedi dentro gli anni 70 dei Rolling Stones. Questi qui sono molto più cazzoni, lo-fi, divertenti. Anche se è roba sentita e risentita, la voce lacerata, la chitarra rozzamente punk e i cori sdolcinati di MSG e Because I Like It sono un farmaco salva vita per i malati del caro vecchio r’n’r. E siccome anche i più balordi hanno un cuore, i tre sono capaci persino di prodursi nella ballata lacrimevole Space Angel dove si fa nitida l’immagine dell’orchestrina di una nave da crociera che chiama a cantare sul palchetto il turista più ubriaco in sala. Chiude Cream & Sugar che è una meravigliosa Brown Sugar da pub di quart’ordine" (Vote 76/100, Manuel Graziani, RUMORE MAGAZINE, January 2023)
