Grapefruit

Grapefruit was a British psychedelic rock band founded in 1967 in London. Named after an art book by Yoko Ono, the band gained early support from The Beatles, who signed them to Apple Publishing for songwriting. John Perry, one of the supporting vocalists on "Hey Jude," and Lennon and Paul McCartney produced their first single, "Lullaby." Despite signing with RCA and Equinox Productions later on, Grapefruit had a string of minor hit singles and albums before disbanding in 1969. They briefly reformed in 1971.

The band consisted of George Alexander on bass guitar and vocals (born Alexander Young), John Perry on lead guitar, Geoff Swettenham on drums, and Pete Swettenham on guitar. After the disbandment, George Alexander remained active due to his connections with members of The Easybeats and AC/DC. John Perry went on to work with Cliff Richard while Geoff Swettenham drummed for Matthew Fisher and Ruby (Procol Harum spin-off). Pete Swettenham continued writing songs and collaborated with Chris Andrews before working with Deaf School, Ralph McTell, and Mott the Hoople.

Neutral’s 2014 1st LP,&nbsp;Grå Våg Gamlestaden, is widely considered ground zero for the explosion of creativity that has transpired in the Swedish Underground ever since. It is the noisy experimental rock album that opened the door and welcomed in so many artists working behind the scenes. Gothenburgers Dan Johansson (Sewer Election) and Sofie Herner had previously made music together in the band Källarbarnen when they started discussing a new methodology and a fresh sound for recordings under a new name as a duo. Grapefruit was proud to reissue that first LP in 2021 and they are equally excited to follow up that sold-out release with two more important Neutral releases, the self-titled sophomore LP from 2016 in a gatefold sleeve and the&nbsp;När&nbsp;mini album EP from 2017 which was originally limited to 300 copies. Grapefruit’s reissue of the&nbsp;När&nbsp;mini album and the 2nd LP is the first time these have been reissued. Both are limited to 400 copies.
