latest RW HEDGES reviews:
"If I didn't know better, I'd swear this was an authentic 60's lost treasure. Great harmonies, flutes and 12-string guitars: we definitely like. The production (by Carpetface) is totally superb, which complements the high quality of the songwriting..." 24-7 Magazine.
"Almanac is one of the most commercial albums I've heard ever - getting radioplay will be like letting a virus out" - Keith Levene (PIL)
..One of the great rock and roll voices..entirely unique..every vocal melody is good, also rare. The music’s kind of liquid...really the best sort of orchestration. It’s 2007 by way of 66-68. RW Hedges’ record is as good as the Kink’s “Village Green” or "Arthur" - Henry Baum (North of Sunset)
Feb 14 07: Carpet's AA single :SPREAD IT AROUND / REALEYSATION out on 7" WAX!
some reviews of the single:
"Carpetface could be Wembley's one-man answer to the Beastie Boys.
No style or genre is too daring for this man". - DJ FORMAT
"This is the kind of music that actually reminds you of why you got involved in the music industry in the first place - refreshing, innovative, funky as hell and highly playable! In an ideal world, Carpetface would rule the charts.
Here's hoping..."-NAT ILLIMINE (Itch FM / Undercover Magazine)
" ...original sounding..if you just like music and will give anything a go,
you could just find that you like this" - BRITISH HIPHOP.co.uk
"the uplifting anthem of positivity resurfaces from carpetface's `dubbed out psychedelic country meets urban meltdown LP " - ROB BIRCH (STEREO MC'S)
"just in time for valentine's day our favourite beatsmith carpetface comes up with two delightful new tunes. if bands like the bees and the zutons get you all excited then this is for you. low slung swingin' grooves and relaxed lyrics grace both sides and it has an overall lo-fi charm. do not miss". - ROUGH TRADE RECORDS
"Another ecclectically fused singalong banger!
..big people's hiphop with a ragga ting that tru skool heads and real music lovers will appreciate. Big up Carpetface for daring to be unrestricted with his influences...CF is anything BUT the same old same old and this is a good place to start checking this refreshingly original artist if you haven't already"
-TJ CHILL ( ZULU NATION/ ITCH FM)
" 8/10...Love is better than money..." - STRANGER Magazine
CARPETFACE ALBUM REVIEWS: "HAVE MIC, WILL TRAVEL" out jan 06...
"truly excellent...This is the perfect album for anyone with a broad taste in music, who likes to be taken on a musical journey" - 24/7 Magazine

There is really nobody out there trying to cover as much ground as Carpetface does… Concurrent with this myriad of skills is an eclectic and diverse musical taste … make sure you support..” - BRITISH HIPHOP.co.uk
a completly original and refreshing album totally different to any other release out there at the moment. Well worth purchasing. Definate value for your hard earned Dosh.” - CRITICAL BEATDOWN MAGAZINE
