Since the inception of The Rotten Fruits in 2001, This Chicago based band has been steadily building a reputation as one of the more original and outlandish bands in underground punk. With songs that like to push the envelope and make the Christian right cringe, The Rotten Fruits have proven not to be just a flash in the pan, and definately not content to become stale and repetitive.
They have released several songs on different compilation CD's and have their first well recieved 7" EP "Abomination" on Criminal IQ Records. The "Abomination" EP either has people jumping with joy, or pulling their hair out in disgust, either way The Rotten Fruits are pleased. Besides Their recorded history, TRF has toured the midwest more than a few times supporting great acts such as The Briefs, Clit 45, Two Man Advantage, Thee Trash Brats, Texas Terri Bomb, Cheap Sex, Lynn Breed Love, The Hollowpoints, The Scarred, The Queers, The Feelers, The Functional Blackouts, The Phantom Limbs, 7 Shot Screamers, The Midnight Creeps, The Street Brats, Human Aftertaste.just to name a few.
The Rotten Fruits just want to have fun. Sure there are messages to their songs, but nothing is taken that seriously, everything is very tongue in cheek. Their goal basically is to have fun, piss people off, and look good doing it. TRF are funny, queer and totally out of control!
