Off my beaten path, but no less interesting for it, is Compton to Scarboro by The Carps. Maybe, I'm feeling aggressive and thus welcoming the noise. Whatever the reason, I really like this song and am intrigued by the EP. It doesn't hurt that The Carps hit a soft spot for two-man bands (The Inbreds, you are much missed).I could do without the monologue/dialogue midway through, but the social statement in the video is something to be appreciated, even if it does call to mind Soul Asylum's Runaway Train a little too readily. And yes, that is a sample from Bell Biv Devoe's Poison. Nice job, boys.
The Carps aren't easily categorized. Self-described here, the music is "Punk Rock with a gun to R&B's head on the Dancefloor". Okay. The Carpedia EP is just $3.99 at iTunes. A steal?
