Fruit Tones are back swinging with their third album ‘Easy Peelers’, released via Berlin’s legendary Alien Snatch! Records. Louder, faster, and more unfiltered than ever, the record captures the band’s no-frills philosophy in full force. Led by Tom Harrison’s infectious, sharp-edged songwriting and powered by the relentless rhythm section of Tomas Walmsley and CJ Wood, Fruit Tones continue to turn everyday chaos into punchy, life-affirming rock ’n’ roll that feels effortless and impossibly catchy. Mostly self-recorded in an old Manchester cotton mill and mastered by Mikey Young of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, the album wears its grit proudly, blending blown-out riffs, hiccuping melodies, and pub-floor momentum into a sound that refuses polish.
Ahead of the album, the band have shared a video for the title track “Easy Peeler,” filmed on tour in Australia by bassist CJ Wood and packed with cameos from underground favorites including Delivery, Gee Tee, Drunk Mums, and Vintage Crop. Harrison describes the song as something that “just appeared out of thin air,” born from time spent on the road and tied together by movement, momentum, and letting go of control. With past releases taking them from Manchester to stages around the world and continued support from tastemakers like Marc Riley and BBC 6 Music, ‘Easy Peelers’ finds Fruit Tones doing what they do best: promising nothing, delivering everything, and keeping the choogle rolling.
