Release Notes:

2005 reunion of The Carpettes, who were a popular
late 70`s/early 80`s punky pop band in the vein of
The Boys, The Vapors and The Vibrators in England.
They had a few albums out on Beggars Banquet and
lots of singles and EP`s. Well, here they are back
together in 2005 recording 13 pretty darn exciting,
rocking and shiny vibrant rock `n roll that reminds
me of early 80`s Ramones, Psychotic Youth and, on
the more recent front, The Groovie Ghoulies. Imagine
Chuck Berry playing The Ramones and that sort of
grabs it, too. It`s punky in spirit, straight ahead
rocking in sound and always obsessed with finding
catchy choruses and melodies in the verses. Bless
The Boys! They call themselves a band that is "Power
Pop For The Punk Generation" and that dead-on. Like
the bands listed above, The Carpettes master a
blazing, blisteringly fast style of rock `n roll,
but sharply crisp guitars, biting melodies and
sing-a-long choruses.
