In a musical climate where the word "independent" is tossed about a bit too freely, Fruit truly define independence from running their own record label to unloading their own equipment to planning their own future.

Fruit are Mel Watson (lead vocalist, horn player, song writer), Susie Keynes(lead vocalist, guitarist, song writer)and Sam Lohs (lead vocalist, acoustic guitarist, song writer).
