Fruit LoOops

Fruit LoOops

Fruit LoOops are a Cincinnati-based Art-Punk band that combine bracing intensity and bursts-of-noise-as-percussion associated with Mid-Aughts Noise-Punk labels like Skingraft, Load, Siltbreeze and Lovepump United and the high concept performance art / Situationist confrontation of bands like Macula Dog and DEVO.

Hatched conceptually by frontperson Jackie Switzer – whose affected, detached vocals bend and twist at lovely and grotesque angles – Fruit LoOops is comprised of Patrick Apfelbeck on drums (Hissing Tiles), Eric Dietrich on saxophone (Sorry Eric) and Kevin Hall on keys / electronics (Stella) and Sam Jayne as theatrical assistance. The group’s expanded line-up is in full effect on their 12” for Whited Sepulchre. Beats and electronic squalor bleed out before being flash cauterized, saxophones turned to full skronk, Apfelbeck is at his best with huge, crashing movements and electronic triggered percussion

BACKSEAT MAFIA

Fruit LoOops meld intensity and noise-percussion in their quest to really, really burrow into your brain. They’re not for the faint-hearted; but your heart is far from faint, right?

They’ve just released a one-hundred-only, self-titled, single-sided LP for hometown imprint Whited Sepulchre, grinding the gears on the first stage of their deep industrial-skronk-helium project. Join them or duck for cover.
