Influences and comparisons range from the edgy rawness of Shellac and Mudhoney to lesser known pioneers of heavier sounds such as Oxes, Daughters, These Arms Are Snakes, That Fucking Tank and Ligament. To date, United Fruit have also supported numerous contemporary greats on tour including Maps & Atlases, Die! Die! Die!, Future Of The Left, Monotonix and Desalvo. The band's debut EP "Mistress, Reptile Mistress!" was met by rapturous reviews from the Scottish music press including The Skinny and The List. Well received appearances at a variety of festivals, including GoNorth and Wickerman, also earned them further enthusiastic column inches. UF tracks have been aired on a variety of radio stations around Europe, including BBC Radio One. United Fruit's debut album 'Fault Lines' marks a step forward in their songwriting skills while maintaining a raw energy reminiscent of early ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and McClusky, balancing melody with mayhem and delivering a payload of pop sensibility within a sonic assault. Said onslaught will be unleashed across the UK in May and France in September. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "A noisy glaswegian quartet that you need in your life. If you like it discordant and a wee bit nasty United Fruit is the name of the band [...] Pretty damn good!" Vic Galloway, BBC Radio One, 2 April 2009 *************** "One of Glasgow's most exciting new acts." The Skinny, 22 June 2009 *************** "Taking notes from the rawness and haunting melody of grunge era noisemakers such as Sonic Youth, Pixies, and Shellac to name a few, Glasgow four-piece, United Fruit, are currently doing the rounds on the city's underground scene and making a lasting impression as well as one hell of a noise." The List, 24 March 2009 *************** "Their palette might fall somewhere in the ballpark of Sonic Youth's experimental wiles and the visceral intensity of At the Drive-In, but they've a hungry, raw sound all of their own." The Skinny, 26 Feb 2009 -
