"Mary! Mother of God! Is that for real?!" Thnis might be your standard reaction upon seeing a group of nuns playing skeetball with grapes & hockey pucks.ĉ But, after hearing the wizardry of Jackfruit with its perfect solution of monster bass lines, supple drum beats & molten piano rolls, it's definitely the only response. From forced screams to falsetto, Chris Berry (Slow Nerve Action/Duran Duran Duran) offers eccentric yet candid commentary on current conundrums and daily routine. Ian Lamont (Slow Nerve Action/Duran Duran Duran) speaks fluent keyboard, alternating between vivacious melodies and blasts of screeching organ with unconceivable ease. Stephane Fortin (Blue Quarter/Duran Duran Duran) delivers unassailable basslines with slaphappy funkiness, while master of the skins Joe Lussier (Frog Maphia/Groove Funktion) sets the tempo with limber chops & mutton rolls.
Though there were changes along the way, the Vancouver based foursome originally formed in 2005 and went on to produce their own eclectic musical style with a peculiar blend of off-the-wall lyrics.ĉJackfruit's debut album "Check Ca" has crossed many genres & classifications, creating its own unique bricolage too mind blowing to pigeon hole!
