Fruit & Flowers was born in a Bushwick loft with no air conditioning. The band wrote its debut in a furious fit of hot nights and inspired mornings, layering lush and distinctive three-part harmonies over gritty, expressive guitars and a driving rhythmic backbone. They played their first show at Brooklyn’s Northside Fest just weeks after formation. The following year, Fruit & Flowers released their debut EP, “Drug Tax,” via Little Dickman Records. Lead single “Out Of Touch” boasts soaring, sultry vocals, beachy surf rock riffs and fuzzy bass. Album tracks range from the melodic, moody and beautiful “Dark Surf” to the post-gothic title track “Drug Tax.”
Known for their powerful live shows, Fruit & Flowers were named one of NYC’s Hardest Working Bands by Oh My Rockness and have continued steady touring throughout the United States, performing at festivals like SXSW, Treefort Music Fest, Brite Winter Fest, Freakout Fest, and more. In Summer 2018, they embarked on their first tour of the United Kingdom. Fruit & Flowers is currently in pre-production on their follow-up to Drug Tax.

“Their performance highlighted angelic harmonies punctuated by rock heavy guitar licks and nimble progressions.” - PhillyVoice
