Chapel Hill's Embarrassing Fruits write really fun songs about a lot of life's less fun moments - particularly those you might have experienced as a lazy 20-something with a crappy job, a dying relationship and a tendency to drink too much PRB. But even if you're a 40-something with a crappy job, a dying relationship and a tendency to drink too much PRB, you can still relate. Such well-crafted pop songs have garnered the band comparisons to Superchunk and Guided By Voices. They'll have a CD-release show this Friday (Sept. 17) at Duke Coffeehouse for their new Trekky [...]

The Embarrassing Fruits Long Distance Breakup Summer (2010) These three kids from Chapel Hill sound like the last fifteen years hasn't even happened. If you have a soft spot for Archers of Loaf, or miss the kind of records Merge used to put out in the '90s, you can't do much better than this. Good lyrics too! Trekky Records will release their second album, Frontier Justice, on September 21st. I'll go back [...]

Wavves: "Friends Were Gone" Ganglians: "Rats Man" Embarrassing Fruits: "Corner" All the cool kids are making treks to the southeast, as WAVVES follows other hipster bands like The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and We Were Promised Jetpacks into the area. WAVVES are fresh off their fight with The Black Lips . Seriously, guys, there is enough amped-up garage-rock-punk to go around. Maybe Nathan Williams will start fighting with The Embarrassing Fruits at their show in Chapel Hill. They're a band that [...]
Your friendly MML curators have taken it upon themselves to scratch enough pocket change/frequent flyer miles together in order to depart from the formerly-evil empire we now call home for a visit with family and friends in and around London, UK. Although our itinerary remains mostly unclear (pubs), we can at least give a heads-up on an evening we have excitedly set aside. Front and center will

It'd be hard not to write about Embarrassing Fruits even if I didn't love them. That's because several comments from my earlier review of the band turned up in their new bio. I was pleasantly surprised to read the other reviews of the band's first EP. Other reviewers came to the same conclusion I did and that was that the band updates the best of the early indie rock scene (Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Superchunk). Seeing that I gave them a rave review last time out I thought I'd [...]

What is up with North Carolina? Pitch Pile seems weirdly attracted to our neighbors to the southeast (mostly east, sort of south... yes, I am looking at a map as I type)-- and it's no different with these week's offering, Embarrassing Fruits . The Fruits clearly have their hands in many sinister soups of the 1990s, including (but not limited to) Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, Pavement, Yo La Tengo... The list could go on and on if I was interested in listing off legitimately awesome [...]

"Travel at your own risk." When we came home from our vacation last week, we saw several of these signs on one of the main roads near our house. It kind of freaked me out. I mean, we only went away for 5 days. What the hell could have happened to the road? Turns out they were going to be applying fresh oil to the pavement and that was what all the fuss was about. Nothing dire at all. What does this have to do with [...]

In the early months of 2006 Embarrassing Fruits began playing stripped down, song-based music in an unheated living room in Greensboro, NC. Swilling cans of PBR, listening to early 90's indie-rock and eating spicy foods helped fuel the band early on, setting the groundwork for honest, unpolished and unpretentious indie rock that recalls what the genre was about in the first place. After moving back to Chapel Hill, NC, Lee Shaw, a talented songwriter in his own right, joined the band on bass in early 2008. Joe Norkus, Lee Shaw, and John Neville now make up "The Fruits." [...]
