Guided by Voices
In 2009, Robert Pollard reunited the "classic era" (1993-1996) Guided By Voices line-up for Matador Records' 21st anniversary and a short tour: Tobin Sprout (guitar) "Mitch" Mitchell (guitar), Greg Demos (bass) and Kevin Fennel (drums), who recorded GBV's ground-breaking lo-fi album, Bee Thousand, which Amazon.com has heralded as the #1 All Time Greatest Indie Rock Album.
Following sold out shows and fantastic performances, Pollard took the band into the studio to record Let's Go Eat The Factory,which was released in January, 2012 to tremendous acclaim:
iTunes Single of the Week, iTunes featured album, David Letterman TV show appearance, NPR Exclusive First Listen, Rolling Stone Magazine Playlist, covers of Magnet and Ghettoblaster magazine...
In June, GBV will be releasing yet another new album, which ups the ante with the standout singles, "Keep It In Motion" and "Class Clown Spots A UFO"

Turbo Fruits
Turbo Fruits, led by Jonas Stein (formerly of Be Your Own Pet) is a group of three rambunctions dudes. Jonas, Matt and Dave all live in Tennessee and can't get enough of it. They enjoy this list of "things" very much:
1. A day out on the river
2. A day out on the lake
3. Taking their shirts off
4. Shitting with the door open
5. Turkey hunting
6. Riding and making love to motorcycles
7. Walking around the house in underwear
8. Big ass titties
9. Goin really really fast
10. A good bar
11. Bad jokes
12. Joints
13. Cliff jumping
14. Rope-swings
15. Cheap domestic beer
16. Big dogs
17. the farm
18. Chainsaws
19. Turnin' it up really loud
20. Paint mares
21. Hot tubs
22. Porn
23. Cookouts
24. Camping
25. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays
Turbo Fruits have toured with Monotonix, The Black Lips and The Lovvers. Their 2nd album, Echo Kid, is on Fat Possum Records.
What press are saying:
Time Out New York: "Turbo Fruits' effortlessly tuneful swagger reminds you in a flash that rock & roll is an either-you've got-it-or-you-don't endeavor. This Nashville trio includes the guitarist from teen-punk sensations Be Your Own Pet but comes across as even more fun and raucous."
Nashville Scene: "We've not seen anything quite like it in some time, maybe ever. Pretty damn phenomenal."
Dazed & Confused: "Dwelling in the same booze-filled gutter of rock 'n' roll as The Black Lips, this side project from Be Your Own Pet is noisy, out of tune and completely amazing. Sounding like vintage Stooges and Lies-era G 'n' R, the teenage duo revel in making dirty, turbo-charged songs about being young and out of control."
