Pubic Fruit

Released

The brawling, mechanistic if not near industrial blast of Curve on their earliest EPs remains a remarkable example of artistic reinvention, with singer Toni Halliday and guitarist Dean Garcia ditching the mannered mainstream 80s rock of their State of Play days for something far more viscerally thrilling. Compiling their first three EPs with an extra remix of their subsequent single “Fait Accompli,” Pubic Fruit is almost a greatest hits release, with such shattering songs like “Ten Little Girls,” “Coast is Clear,” “Frozen,” “Clipped” and “Die Like a Dog” showcasing Halliday’s cool, sharp singing and Garcia’s rampaging feedback and arrangements.
