jimbriggs3 can't wait to hear more where this came from. They are tight, wiry and fun as hell. Seeing this band before Fucked Up made for one of the best opening act surprises I've had in a long time. the sky is the limit. Favorite track: I Am the Car.

about

“I Am the Car” is the new single from Oakland-based Fake Fruit, available digitally on Fire Talk imprint Open Tab. Lead vocalist Hannah D'Amato's acerbic wit is bitingly emphatic, providing a necessary vantage point into the absurdities and emotion of human connection, and Bandcamp christened the trio “our new no-bullshit harbingers of disgruntled punk.” The new single takes the best of the band’s keen ear for melody and flips it into an impossibly catchy anthem that full of melancholic yearning. The band’s “electrifying” (Pitchfork) brand of nervy guitars and call-and-return vocals have made them one of the new names to know in indie rock.

lyrics

I am learning how to
Fix myself up for you
Prop the hood up and I’ll
start to tune up for you  
Gets a little greasy
But you can rest easy
We can drive around town
Music up, windows down 
Just give me a check up
Every time I’m messed up
I’ve still got the miles
You’ll get there in style.  
Pull off at the rest stop
And we’ll take a load off
Watch the sunset over
An empty highway shoulder  
If my tank reads empty
I can get you there
I’ll keep ruining for you
Just to show I care  
Just give me a check up
Every time I’m messed up
I’ve still got the miles
You’ll get there in style.
