Press Reviews From the The Stranger, Seattle, WA: From the suburban wilds outside Portland come the Carolines, whose slightly fey, oddly muscular pop feels young and inspired, like a bunch of not-quite-kids-anymore who are still motivated by the rock 'n' roll dream but who don't feel the need to dress it up in tough-guy poses. The Carolines are about words, melodies, and musical interdependence, and while they may not melt your butter quite yet, they seem to have that ineffable whatever that makes basement bands stick around long enough to move upstairs. What a strained, shitty metaphor. Good band, though. Sorry. -Sean Nelson, staff writer
