Carton

Ryan Hebert’s musical resume is long and distinguished. As a member of Brooklyn’s psych-drone outfit Heavy Winged, he recorded several albums for the acclaimed North Carolina based imprint Three Lobed Records. After moving back to Vermont he linked up with a collective of musicians operating under the moniker of What Doth Life.

A mulit-instrumentalist, Hebert manned the drum kit and played guitar with Giant Travel Avant Garde, played bass for The Jobz, and released two solo records. Following the disbanding of Giant Travel, Hebert and Bruce Black, called upon Brendan Dangelo and Davis McGraw of Vermont garage rockers The Pilgrims to form Carton.

Carton quickly entered Justin Pizzoferrato’s Sonelab Studio with a formidable repertoire of songs and emerged with seven tracks of post-hardcore akin to Drive Like Jehu and early Dinosaur Jr. This is noise pop worthy of any lofty Mascis or Thurston comparison.
