John Carpenter and his people suggest you leave your cares at the door and take a little journey through their emotional wringer......
With ripping guitar work, and cues from Scott Walker, Echo and the Bunnymen, Roy Orbison, John Cale and early Roxy Music (to name a few),
"THE GOLDEN-THROATED JOHN CARPENTER IS NEW YORK'S NIGHTCLUB ROCK-N-ROLL.."(TimeOut) Gothic-American-Blue-Eyed Soul...Raucous, Romantic, Psychedelic Chamber-Pop...
A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.....
John writes and sings the songs. He plays guitar, bass, piano and viola. J.Explosive is the drummer. Enjoy. ............................................................................................................................. .......................................... "YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND SOMETHING AS MAJESTIC AS 'SEASONS' THIS YEAR...HE IS WRITING FUTURE CLASSICS FOR THE WORLD.." (TooCoolToDieBlog)

ALAN MCGEE OF CREATION RECORDS ON JOHN CARPENTER.....................................................................
....................."WHEN YOU HEAR THE RAINY GRANDEUR OF JOHN CARPENTER, YOU'LL BE LEFT IN SHOCK ........ HIS VOICE IS A TRANSPLANTED and TRANS-ATLANTIC EVOCATION OF SCOTT WALKER, COLIN BLUNSTONE, and IAN McCULLOCH.
...................His debut single ‘Seasons’ is a solid gold bit of rainy grandeur. .....The spooky post-punk is a sweeping technicolor treat,
.....John’s musical language of another planet of pure musical whimsy, does the impossible task of incorporating all of your favourite cult heros, no matter how diverse, in the architecture of his pop music.
.......His set is cinematic. And somehow he evokes cabaret of Walker’s earlier records and Antony and the Johnsons sadder moments of despair (all with the basement, scruffy street punk attitude and charm). It’s ace." - Alan McGee/PepsiMaxcast.com
