CANNED PINEAPPLE // 27.09.24

Canned Pineapple is a 5-piece scuzz-pop and slacker rock group based in Brighton, England. The quintet consists of the songwriting partnership of Seán Drury and Oakley Gardiner alongside multi-instrumentalist and recording engineer Jude Allenby, guitarchitect visionary Gabe Rice and master of the rhythm stick Charlie Pringle

A band of brothers waggin out. Canned Pineapple is the result of interplanetary telekinesis between the great beyond and the great norm.

In 2023, they’ve had the honour of supporting renowned acts like The Wedding Present, The Love Buzz, Blood Red Shoes, Cardinals and Arxx along with a summer marked by three successful self-organized tours, selling out headline performances across the UK and Ireland. They’ve also released a 7″ Orange Vinyl EP on Brighton’s Goo Records, available at Rough Trade, Resident, Piccadilly Records, and more. As of 2024, the band are storming their first festivals, having recently played ‘New Colossus Festival’ in New York City, US and are set to play in Rotterdam, NL for ‘Left of the Dial’.

Canned Pineapple’s music found its way onto the airwaves, with a BBC Introducing Live Lounge as well as frequent plays on BBC Radio 6, Radio X, BBC Sussex and Surrey, Slack City, and Platform B, with BBC Introducing praising their fan engagement as “off the scale” and their track ‘Shubadooba’ was even added to the NME playlist.
