Press Reviews 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... Deneen Gannon/CAKE Magazine: I really dig this band's rock/country groove. They're good players with a knack for writing catchy songs ... An overall really pleasing and satisfying release from the local Carp 18. Buy this disc. ... Stacia Proefrock/Getmusic.com: the debut album from Minneapolis-based roots rockers Carp 18 shows amazing range. From the punky Husker Du-esque "Man on a Mission" and "I Luv Luv" to a host of jangly tunes to atribute to boy sleuth {%Encyclopedia Brown}, Russian Racehorse shows that a group of northern boys with guitars can rock out in many ways. Some of the more clever sounds have echoes of irony-infused bands like the Modern Lovers, while the countryfied aggressive style of the band as a whole can make them sound like a backing band for Steve Earle. Overall this is a fine collection for a newly minted band with a few rough edges, but a lot of promise.
