Praise for Canned Pineapple:

 

“A delicious piece of guitar pop with a 60s twist. The neat, chopped guitar lines have a slight psychedelic flavour, while the taut, finessed songwriting is all muscle, and no gristle.” - Clash

 

“A really interesting song… You’ll be hearing that again, no question” - John Kennedy, Radio X

 

“An eclectic track with classic rock influences – resulting in an instantly catchy single layered in guitar tones” - So Young

 

Fronted by Irish vocalist Seán Drury alongside guitarists Oakley Gardiner and Gabe Rice, and drummer Charlie Pringle, Canned Pineapple continue to build on the feverish hype surrounding the band following a flying 2024: making their international festival debut at New Colossus Festival in New York City, playing multiple packed out shows at The Great Escape, and gaining widespread acclaim from the likes of So Young, Dork, Clash, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X (X-Posure). The band also made their way to the Netherlands for Down the Rabbit Hole and Left of the Dial and were guests in the BBC Introducing Live Lounge.

 

Produced by Tom Rees (Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard), latest single ‘My Only Favourite Girl’ once again captures the charismatic energy which characterises Canned Pineapple’s sound, delivering a track which embodies the bands live sound whilst delivering radiant earworm melodies. Characterising their sound as ‘scuzz-pop’, the quintet’s use of fuzzy guitar tones, distorted vocal and lo-fi, vintage production makes for a sound which is at once upbeat and urgent, whilst retaining a tongue-in-cheek edge.
