The AV Club Shares “The Rock Doc” By Fruit Bats, New LP Seeks CMJ Debuts

The AV Club has the premiere of “The Rock Doc,” a song on the newest Fruit Bats release, The Glory of Fruit Bats. According to the website, the limited-edition LP – Eric D. Johnson‘s second collection of new material released in 2016 – “continues Absolute Loser’s return to twangy, harmonizing form, its unfussy creation reflected in unvarnished ballads… and heartfelt covers.” The AV Club describes “The Rock Doc” as the most upbeat track on the album, writing that it “peaks from a place of experience and nostalgia” and “lays out a prescription for not burning out or fading away, ending on a sentiment that could serve as the motto for Fruit Bats’ second act: ‘Just try to love, and you’ll be loved.'” Enjoy the song here.

“The Rock Doc” does include a couple of FCC violations, but we fortunately were able to include a clean radio edit of the track in our digital servicing of The Glory of Fruit Bats. Check it out, and let us know if you need a new copy. The album goes for CMJ debuts this week!
