Cart! started out in Portland, OR with surf/punk influences, but has expanded its style as well as its repertoire, experimenting now with structure and rhythm. McClain joined Jamez, an ex-member, and Deb in June 2003, adding a new dimension to the original sound incorporating hardcore, progressive, experimental and psychedelic rock. The band has since incorporated more noise into the mix. A more progressive, harder tone has been set especially live where shows are a vicious catharsis. A true primal scream therapy session with trippy lights.
CART! has been a performing band since October 2003 and has already toured many times, and has also won rave reviews in the process, expanding their odd but large fan base. They are completely independent and exist on an underground level that suits their needs. They answer to no one. They are three unique characters who are completely different from each other but coexist on a level of understanding that is "CART!"
