Carb on Carb album release tour: New Zealand
Carb on Carb are a girl and a boy from Auckland. After releasing 2 EPs and touring the country maybe more than is
healthy, it was time to take for them to take a step back to write and record an album. The resulting 10-track
self-titled album is a redefinition of the band; a shift towards 90s emo/pop punk, without losing their other, older
influences.
The longer format (though still coming in at under half an hour) has given Carb on Carb the chance represent themselves
more fully and to broach subjects important to them in a coherent context. The single ‘Not Cute, Anymore’ crystalizes
some central themes of the album - coming to terms with the fact that you’re never really ready to get older, and the
process of settling in to who you are and where you fit.
Self-released on digital and CD, the album is distributed in NZ by Flying Out. Carb on Carb will have limited copies of
the Malaysian tape release by Toothache Splinter on tour with them.
Fresh from their tour of Australia, Singapore and Malaysia, the band will be playing around the country throughout May.
