Press for The Croup

The NeusSubjex - January 2005
"Eleven songs, each pretty out-there and reminding me of a less drug-crazed, more mellowed Hairway to Steven era BUTHOLE SURFERS and WEEN coupling themselves with ENO when he first went solo. Strong songwriting, each song is well-produced and worth a listen... Sales be dammed! Fuck your units! The Croup: Real stuff from real stuff about real stuff. Teach me to swim and I will never come back again!" Shawn Abnoxious

Indie-Music - November 2004
“The Croup is something fresh… The twangy vocals and some of the lyrics recall Dylan, but they often include a sweetness noticeably un-Dylanesque. There’s a lot of variety… and they really do it well. Surprises abound. …These guys cannot be accused of dullness…” read more>>

1340 Magazine - September 2004
"An interesting blend of styles...these guys have ideas and even with a limited studio they know how to put them down." read more>>

Deep Fry Bonanza - September 2004
"This self-titled disc from the Croup is, at every level, a fascinating record. If you're a fan of anything from Highway 61 Revisited to Neutral Milk Hotel to the Unicorns, this comes with my absolute highest recommendation. This collection of songs is so perfect that after listening to this disc just a few times you'll barely be able to remember what life was like before it."

Smother- August 2004
" The Croup is a fusion of punk, indie folk, and bluegrass. “Coney Island” is a page ripped from The Flaming Lips handbook with a backdrop of O Brother Where Art Thou. ...they’re packaged more in the scope and concept of the songs that are delicate reminders of the dearness of everyday life.
Could I be daring and saying that this collaboration is a reminder that even Bob Dylan can be made to blush? Perfect." read more>>
