 Embarrassing Fruits are a rock band from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A three-piece, guitar, bass, drums, rock band. The Fruits released their first EP, The First Time, in the summer of 2008 to somewhat unexpected acclaim. The home recorded, handmade EP was not only received with positivity and excitement from the local community, but also turned a few heads nationally. Over the following months the band's loud, energetic live show won audiences over, garnering praise from regional press outlets nearly every time they played. The First Time served as an introduction to the band's chemistry and frontman Joe Norkus' solid, honest, and off-the-cuff songwriting. On March 24th, Embarrassing Fruits' debut full-length Community / Exploitation will expound upon the foundation laid down by the The First Time EP. Community / Exploitation spans several years of output from The Fruits, hashed out in various living rooms and practice spaces, and recorded with old friend Jay Murphy (Des Ark, Black Taj, Hammer No More the Fingers) in the Summer of 2007. The album was recorded at a break-neck speed in the sweltering heat of July, the tension and urgency of the sessions seeping into the lively, raw takes. Community / Exploitation also shows the range and dynamic of Embarrassing Fruits' material. The album covers a lot of ground, from the anthemic nostalgia of 'Details' to the brutal throbbing of 'I Thought I Was Bleeding...' to the experimental pop palettes of 'Corner' to the thrashing energy of 'Go There', all the while retaining a common voice. While the Fruits' formula is seemingly simple, Community / Exploitation's songs and performances reveal something new and exciting with each listen. Community / Exploitation will be available in stores and online March 24, 2009. See also: Mortar and Pestle Straight No Chaser Westfalia  Community / Exploitation is the debut full length from Embarrassing Fruits. Recorded by Jay Murphy in Durham, NC, the album
is a tight, fast, distrotion-drenched document of what is so special about the Fruits. The First Time EP is a 5-song CD recorded by Embarrassing Fruits in
The Owl Room Studio in Trekky House. The packaging is a a 3-color screen printed digipak made by the band itself. Sumr Stupid Drunk Fun is
