11. Bad jokes?
12. Joints?
13. Cliff jumping?
14. Rope-swings?
15. Cheap domestic beer?

What press are saying

“Turbo Fruits’ effortlessly tuneful swagger reminds you in a flash that rock & roll is an either-you’ve got-it-or-you-don’t endeavor. This Nashville trio includes the guitarist from teen-punk sensations Be Your Own Pet but comes across as even more fun and raucous.” — Time Out New York

“We’ve not seen anything quite like it in some time, maybe ever. Pretty damn phenomenal.” — Nashville Scene

“Dwelling in the same booze-filled gutter of rock ‘n’ roll as The Black Lips, this side project from Be Your Own Pet is noisy, out of tune and completely amazing. Sounding like vintage Stooges and Lies-era G ‘n’ R, the teenage duo revel in making dirty, turbo-charged songs about being young and out of control.” — Dazed & Confused
