Is it possible Turbo Fruits accidentally gave their album the wrong name? Instead of the raging punk tremble of previous releases, No Control is almost bizarrely even-tempered and their most polished effort to date. The Nashville garage rockers swapped “Sweet Thang” (Butter) for No Control’s sweetheart/“Favorite Girl” amid the album’s other more straightforward discussion points. Call it maturity, maybe. But if you want to say it’s a sign of selling out or mainstream label interference, guess again, because they funded the effort basically all by themselves. Think of it like the passed-out dude at the party came to and slicked up his slumbering mumbling and started enunciating his words. Could be off-putting and awkward to longtime fans seeking that old slurry sound, but their brash roots are surely not forgotten live.
