Man, oh man are the Carpet Patrol good. They're pretty DIY too. I mean this CD is a compilation of their two demo tapes put onto one CD. Oh, if you didn't know, Carpet Patrol play pop-punk. No, not Screeching Weasel pop-punk, but Carpet Patrol pop-punk. They start off doing the Nickelodeon/Doug intro, going straight into "Be All You Can Be." "Hey I'm a Poseur" was the first Carpet Patrol song I ever heard (off Runt of the Litter, Vol. 2), and it's still one of my favorites. My favorites on this CD include "Joe Cool," "Me and My IIe," and "Transform and Roll Out." Damn, they even have a song that's in Chinese. You guessed it, "Chinese Song." Too bad you can't get this anymore.
