JIM WALSH
ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS —
In addition to producing one of the most entertaining local 'zines around in "The Catch O' the Day the wryly romantic men of Carp 18 have uncorked a solid debut disc that rocks as hard as it bobs, and twangs as sweetly as it croons.

TOM HALLETT
PULSE OF THE TWIN CITIES —
"Hands down, a true-blue, dyed-in-the-wool release from an outfit you should make every effort to check out. Highly recommended listening."

Tote Bag (2006)

ROB FORBES
LEICESTER BANGS UK —
"So, we get bits of the Beatles, Bright Eyes, Syd Barrett and the Flaming Lips, and a sound that’s both psychedelic and sparse — which results in mood hops from trippy to forlorn. Personally, I like it best when it’s spacey and abstract, with ‘Porta One’ my out and out favourite track."
