Notes:

"Dead-eyed punks The Carp cast gnarly hooks with their debut LP “Knock Your Block Off”. This Cleveland based 3-piece, consisting of members of Cruelster, Knowso, Perverts Again, and a laundry list of other fast and fried bands, strip away the extraneous minutia- distilling the music into a raw, visceral, no-frills mutant street punk offering. This record says something about the duality of man- harnessing blunt, goonish, and freaky 77 punk aesthetics and combining them with the densely cerebral, albeit, thuggish and strange lyrical prose. While that may sound psychotic, "Knock your Block Off" offers wholly unique and infectious arrangements begging the listeners to mindlessly stomp along, ricocheting into each other like particles in the pit of a hydrogen bomb. The Carp sound like RFK Jr’s brainworm smoking crack with Hunter Biden diving 2000 miles per hour into the uncertain, and frightening, yet breathtaking, near future." - Sims Hardin
