Auckland's Carb on Carb's self-titled 10-track album is a redefinition of the band. Sonically it sees the pair redefine their sound by shifting towards a 90s pop-punk style, while still retaining their older influences. Lyrically the album centres around themes of aging, or as the band explain it: "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" - Flying Out
"Driven by Gaffney's angular guitars and gossamer vocals, their songs are equal parts melodic and noisy - compositions are underpinned by pop hooks pushing their way through the fog." - Rip it Up
"Breezy, wistful with just enough rough around the edges, Carb on Carb is youthful brooding done right. All those incredibly awkward junior high moments elevated to hyperbole - these two have the soundtrack for you." - Live Beijing Music
