The Carps - Compton To Scarboro

[Iepsjuh]

Meanwhile in my head: "That girl is poisoooooon"

[CloudMeetsSky]

This song gives me goose bumps, but in a good way. When are they releasing another record?

[TheBoyofnothing]

FUCKING CANADIANS!!!

[weRindierokkers]

cant find a damn mp3 of this song!!arghhhhh!!!

[ZEROlibra0365]

badtz badtz mura guitar <3

[MrDjGreedo]

This track is the shit !!!

[Shuvvy09]

DOPE ASS Vid...I love Jahmal's hair cut and da gun part was my Fav :)

[flyaway951]

This is so good.

[wallykit]

Love that intro bit from Bel Biv Devo's Poison. I need to get this album now.

[WardSennes]

lol, how these poor sobs think they're achieving something.

[madmedivh]

i love how proud G's are of thier hometown

[Altrockpwner123]

i dig the floating hands playing the keyboard lol

[bikergirl15]

I live in Scarborough and it may not have near the numbers as some other cities around the world but a few years ago it was the most dangerous gang spot in Canada.

[shervinjamaat15]

i live in tdot man,this place is nothing compared to us

[bikergirl15]

Tdot and Scarborough are practically the same place. They are both part of the GTA and I can get to downtown Toronto in about an hour assuming that the TTC is working properly.

[shervinjamaat15]

scarborough is a part of toronto

[BassandLongboardguy]

the bass player smashed that guitar and gave it to my friend after a show

[CBlocc1z]

wa gwan wit dis rock musik though dun real talks Scartown hol it down dere aint no comparison Real reconize Real fuc a yute tube we out here Canada WAT

[Silenxer]

second generation canadians? wtf

[Silenxer]

lol is this a joke, fucking canadians

[LightJehuety]

....u have no clue what your talking about

[chinkdinkey]

toronto is not even close to south central LA.

[wannabevegeterian]

this song is wicked

[thtmusicloser]

Has anybody seen neil with anything but a bronco bass?

[Braxmetal]

I really fucking like this.

[ShornOfSpades]

this song is soooo good

[unseenhate]

emajanashun dont discriminate against what you dont understand u ignorant prick i wonder who you r prolly some skinny white boy who thinks hes black hiding behind a computer

[USFVids]

Booyah

[Emajanashun]

i wish i could find a cd around here (halifax)

i msgd them on myspace telling them to do a show out here haha they actually replied saying they'd love too cuz one there buddies did a show here and told them it was great

[kazari775]

i love how when he gets shot hes still ricking out on the ground

[StreetThugs]

I know the drummer. He goes to my church.

[mozillaman0]

This song sounds like nothing else, definitely has it's own style. The only word I can think of is sexy, and I haven't thought about that about a song since DFA1979 ended. That's a good thing.

[BaxterD]

@mozillaman0 Was about to say DFA1979 lol, saw them on the NIN tour, so sick, had to explain to the guy behind me that JFK was playing a bass guitar, guy was confused by the sounds he was hearin haha.

[burntplatano420]

they could b better if the vocalist manned up a lil bit .. they are instrumentally amazing though sick fuckking bassist its just that guys voice too femminine to my taste

[NakedCreep]

Were you expecting some kind of rap?

Rock and roll dude.

[burntplatano420]

no not at all its just his voice seems somewhat feminnine like that of a r&b singer

[Emajanashun]

do u want him hollering like hes one them shitty metal guys?

[BoundAndGaggedBand]

I take offense to that asshat.

Metal is heavy on musicianship. If you can actually pick out the different tracks and knew jack shit about music theory you could understand that.

And dont ever say hollering and metal at the same time. We dont HOLLER. We scream, we growl, and we yell.

[Emajanashun]

you all sound the same basically, so go scream and make someone deaf...

all that i hear is hollering and loudness so i dont want to listen to that shit, im not gonna try to understand the theory of it, when i hear it, it's just loud banging and someone screaming

and the majority of them sound like garbage

[PaintballOrDie]

haha you sure are an asshat

[Emajanashun]

go ride someone elses dick, douche bag

[g00dz]

nu metal is heavy on crapsmanship, the real shit is the old metal. nu metal and this music has nothing on classic metal like early metallica, iron maiden, megadeth, pantera etc etc and so on

[theredmars]

so rock has feminine voices?

[shortysmagic]

the problem is that we are all taught to think of ourselves as seperate from one another, ther for if i shoot sumone im shootiing sumthing other then my self but we are all one wen one group of peeple has problems it becomes sumone elses just like this video shows one persons problem became a store clerks problem watch this vid " zeitgeist addendum" if u wanna understand the root cause of our societys fucked upness

[narrator1982]

Nice music. But the problem isn't the gun. It's a culture rotting from the inside out.

[iGotszFreshHookups]

i love the carps

not into rock to much

but wow they are crazzyyyy good!

[lilt33]

i can t stop listening to this one, it s just brilliant!

[iceonaboy]

I fuckin love this band!!

[Eggroll42]

Where can I get this video? I can't find it on iTunes. Don't wanna dl it from limewire, shitty quality.

[t0masi0]

when they play this song live they act it out while still playing

they are the shit

[hereyesglowgreen]

this is amazing

[Drexkillah]

Whaaaa...this product is from Scarborough huh..not surprised..much blessings..I want to hear more..

[drk8390]

i wish they would come down to the d.c. area to play a show, they kick ass

[t0masi0]

tru dat they are the best

[mikehokk]

This band is wayyyyyyyyyy better live. I saw them open for the Hives at the Kool Haus

[JunkOnVideo]

i wonder how they play live...they must be wicked!!!

[neopandorex]

saw them live, i was shook... i c a LOT of gigs.. but that singer.. has an iNCREDIBLE voice live.. i mean.. American idol finals status... and he drums at the same time... i mean.. its motown talent status

[seaninc]

Gun violence is definitely a bad thing, both in Canada and the States. However, I use a gun in a positive way and yeah, I do love it. Guns are not bad, people are.

[bradster77ster]

I second that, guns are just tools, like a butter knife, if someone were so inclined.

[PLURRmusic]

these people are from canada, where guns are illegal to own.

[JJRavinsky]

There is NO reason why anyone other than police should own handguns. "Protection" is not a valuable argument either. If an attacker entered my home unarmed I could fight him with a baseball bat, vase, or knife.

There are kids dying in the hood because of handguns. If people are bad, we shouldn't give them the option to do bad things.

[seaninc]

People will always obtain firearms through illegitimate means, so if you stop sales of the weapons it would leave them in the hands of criminals and take them from law-abiding citizens. And yes, there is a reason to own a handgun besides protection, target shooting. It is quite fun and an Olympic sport.

[punkrockalter7]

as true as that is, JJ still has a point.

[seaninc]

saw these guys open for the cool kids, not too bad. they seem to be a lot like death from above 1979 (also from toronto)

[cantouchme123]

I found out about these guys through the cool kids.

[JunkOnVideo]

they sound garage like death from above but not has not trash all the way, more blues in the begining

[Emajanashun]

i love these guys!

i msgd them on myspace telling them to come here to hali lol, they actually replied saying they would love too

[CheefConcern]

I love how neil keeps playing when he falls to the floor. my favourite part.

[zafferis]

NICE OHH YA

[IntelligentTragedy]

wow i like them they have that special somthin thats missin in most music now

[blocpartyfan21]

this song is to much funk drums to be bloc party.

killer song though

[t0masi0]

i met thesse people

jamal and neil

[haydenjarquin]

they got a bloc party vibe

[haydenjarquin]

dude why did u even go there?

[henryunderwood]

no this is afrobeat

its because hes black you said that...

[b0leiro]

isnt that the beggining of another song?

[RubikMaster911]

Its spelled scarbrough idiot

[limited8]

1.) They're from TO, they know how to spell it. They spelled it that way on purpose.

2.)If you're trying to correct someone

's spelling, do it right. Scarborough.

[Glennfaw]

Damn, these guys are good - great song, excellent video, I'm seriously impressed.

[barkbarkbunny]

the middle part when the clerk is on the stetcher that is some cool almost catchy singing

[JasonACL]

awwh there so sick

does anyone know where i can pick up there cd

[pbgeegee]

i like how brits call runnes trainers it makes me laugh (random) this band pwns!

[FunnyLilli]

amazing!!!!

[MaryM1206]

That's right! It was awesome!!!!!!

[heraldosurpriz]

the carps put on an amazingly good live show, if they ever come to your city or near enough go and see them. you will not be disappointed.

[MaryM1206]

thx for the tip. just read they will be at rogers picnic in toronto this sunday ... I think I will check that out :)

[IndiePolak]

It was great. I saw them at the Rogers Picnic, they fucking rocked.

[6Tomb6stone6]

interesting combination of intstaments and combination of sound i also found

[6Tomb6stone6]

yeah its scarborough ontario

[breakingthegirl00]

yea they prolly spelled it scarboro because americans wouldn't know how to pronouce it :P

[MUN7001]

lol, thats the nickname

[timsupreme22]

I come from Scarboro England, Are they talking about our town?

[moria61]

I think they're talking about Scarborough, Ontario, where they are both from.

[shangubbs]

crazy good canadian band!

[FacelessFault]

Brilliant!

[4L3xx69]

Does anyone know what shoes the drummer Jamal has? I want a pair theyre tight.

[pancitcant0n]

just wondering, do you know what shoes the bassist has..

? o_o

[emericanemo2]

yea i don't know either, but if you find out tell me. my boyfriend wants to know. the shoes are amazing!!

[Stephanie198907]

they look like creative recreation shoes. They are relatively new and better looking than nike if you ask me. Im not 100% positive though.

[pancitcant0n]

they look like them, but i don't really think they are them..

thanks :)

[DiscoGabe]

Amazing video/message/song/band/bassis­t. =)

[Indzzgracey]

this is really good, video music and everything

[SamSkaSkank]

For the person who was wondering what the bass was, it looks like a frankenstein 60s p-bass.

[slappop7]

its actually a squire badtz maru bronco bass

good try though

[sirlemonpie]

that was cool

[zack3006]

is that a jazz bass.... dose anyone know ?

[punkrockalter7]

its a badtz maru squier bass. I know Fender does make basses but im not sure if its jazz or precision or anything. All i know is its a squier and its called a "Badtz Maru Bronco Squier" hope i helped.

[brattycampari]

really like this .... eager to see live

[ANNAHEROE]

Damn I love them carp boys, go pick up both their EPs they're totally worth the money and you're support great canadian talent

[punkrockalter7]

this song is so inspiring to me. cannot even handle it. ive been listening to the carps for probably almost a year and this song NEVER gets old.

[Juicyyestt]

same heree

i know exactly what you mean!

never gets OLD!

[Omar5674]

omg if i ever played bass like that!!!

[Mynameisnotstupid]

Ever listened to Death from above 1979's Jesse Keeler?

[Omar5674]

Oh yeah, thanks for saying that, I discovered a kick ass band, bought all their CD's and actually met my girlfriend through DFA. Thanks for that.

[ShaunBon]

Or Does it offend you, yeah

[GreenAms]

Great Canadian Talent!!!

[EddesHere1]

wow. ive just added a new artist to my list

[punkrockalter7]

by far one of the most original awesome bands today

[Stephanie198907]

Bands like this, two guys and two instruments, always make the best music. Keep it simple!

[c0nn3ct10n]

its actually 3 instruments, if you count synthesizers as instruments

[Stephanie198907]

true! but still a great band

[Omar5674]

but sadly their lives sound way different cuz the bassist has to stop to play that synthesizer.

[punkrockalter7]

but regardless they still sound pretty good live. different, but good

[flippytheleper]

seems simple but the bass line actually takes a lot of work to get the timing down.

[EddesHere1]

i got it down  :D

well, like 90% anyway...

[flippytheleper]

same, I love it. Now I just need a drummer....

[MikesOnTheRoadToZion]

the carps are good but...

dfa is 10x better.

[PinkFloyd47]

The Carps. Amazing.

[yoshxl]

effin' eh.

love the song, love the vid.

[marcen12]

sik vid. love da song

[smallville4eva]

One of the best music vidoes!

[ryanhue]

scarberia is rough man.. so much security now at the ScarbTownCenter

[SYTYCDLuver]

song is awesome

its kdian weird

different that what ive' heard before

but its cool it has a great meaning

and a good video

[excalabus]

That song is excellent. I enjoyed the clothings and have been inspired to build a time machine which will send me back to the 80's to buy vintage clothing at cheap prices.

[scum4lyfe]

just got to value village or a second hand store...you will find what your looking for

[excalabus]

I'll have to do that. I don't have enough money for a time machine since I poured all of it into research which may or may not result in Michael Jackson becoming black again

[zenin2]

this is kick ass. period.

[ybtpr]

I want their outfits......

[ackid360]

i was the kid in the blue jacket in the video....neils brother

[b0leiro]

[CrazySexyrealCool]

I really just mean the lead singers sound similar when they sing.

[MUN7001]

hell no, that guy's voice is soulful, fall out boy sound's like a bunch of chipmunks

[hottchic2293]

This song sounds so cool. I didn't think that a song only containing a bass, drums and a piano would sound so good. LUV THEIR SHOES!!!

[MUN7001]

its called drum and bass, research it . lol.

[immortalr41n]

i saw them play live last night too at the frosh after party for UofT!! stood right on the stage yay almost hit me in the face while he made love to his bass! it was funny how they re-enacted this video.. he hit the ground real hard. THEY WERE SELLING PILLOWS!
