The Carter Affair are a band born of desire and frustration. Desire to be the best we possibly can be, to reach people and to make a difference. And frustration at not hearing music that is relevant, frustration at the Ill take second-best attitudes everywhere and frustration at still hearing the same old tired excuses.

We operate a form of musical escapism. Bored of the small town we call home, with its miles of fresh concrete, shiny plastic and smoked glass, we write songs that take us away from sterile malls and monotonous nine-to-fives.

Each song is a statement of intent: Witch Hunt and Watch Em All Come Running are both a call to arms things can be better, we can change and evolve if we can just raise our voices loud enough. Ghosts Of 78 is a song written in anger about peoples happiness to accept reheated old as brand new, and This City is frustration at small town mentality.

Obviously every song has personal themes: some were written during bad times, others while surfing the crest of the wave. But those feelings are exactly that personal and you can read whatever subtext you will into the lyrics of each song.

Thats it. No bull, smoke and mirrors or posturing. Hopefully the music speaks for itself.
