UNITED FRUIT formed in Glasgow in 2008 when the four founding members quickly gelled through a mutual love of discordant yet catchy noise and the band have been taking the traditional format of guitars, bass and drums in a thunderous direction ever since. 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.
PRESS FOR 'FAULT LINES':
Glaswegian four-piece United Fruit’s debut is some serious trading in all that is heavy, epic and powerfully loud. When the band is in full-pelt, which is most of the time, there’s momentum that’s exciting and feels unstoppable. The double explosion of sound is a tense suspension that has to crescendo but is no less thrilling for doing so. Fault Lines is an record of twists and turns at breakneck speed and dangerous volume, there will be few albums as invigorating as this in 2011. - Drowned In Sound
Glasgow quartet United Fruit have clearly taken time to build since debuting the sharp burst of post-hardcore excellence that was their 2009 Mistress Reptile Mistress EP. As a truer representation of their live shows, Fault Lines plays like a broader attack on the senses – touched by the kind of dynamism that marked out Trail of Dead’s Source Tags & Codes as an adrenaline shot to the heart of a dying genre - The Skinny
Fault Lines is punk without the anger, it’s emo without the self pity, it’s post rock without the self indulgence. It’ll tear your ears from your head and leave them in a bleeding heap on the floor and there aren’t many albums you can say that about. Make United Fruit one of your five a day. - The 4O5
