Reviews & Reactions
“That rolling bassline with those slide guitars — magic...”
- BBC New Music Blog - Fresh On The Net (United Kingdom)
“It sounds like the rebellion of a non-conformist, it depicts a human being defying all the adversities of life. This dark and sometimes fierce Alternative Rock really impresses me.“
- Lie In The Sound (Germany) (translated by the author)
“..the musician's tone tears your heart like a ship furiously sailing through calm waters.”
- Guitar Talks (Brazil)
The Last Approval on BBC Introducing, hosted by the great Tom Robinson and aired on BBC 6 Radio - BBC Introducing (United Kingdom)
.
.
“an energy that is at times desolate and urgent, yet truthful.”
- The Daily Country (USA)
“Jonas Carping creates a soulful music with a big heart, it's melancholic and deep. He possess a big and powerful voice, it's almost heartbreaking but in control, which work well in my ears.”
- Tune Of The Day (Sweden)
Cocktails & Gasoline debuts at #17 on the Euro Americana Chart
"...a pretty great album could be in the wait. There was. Through ten americana n’ indierock songs Carping taps into a musical sphere inhabited by the likes of Springsteen, Petty and fellow Scandinavians The Fine Arts Showcase, Tommy Tokyo and Madrugada, but these comparisons should only serve as indexing help for your mental filing cabinet as he is very much his own."
- All Scandinavian (Denmark)
“Espere melodias belíssimas com uma energia crua que atinge o fundo de qualquer alma. Coloque logo Higher Ground para entender o espírito e cante alto junto.“
- Musicapave (Brazil)
“Desde El Mundo de Tulsa recomendamos su escucha. ¡Jonas Carping! queremos verlo en los próximos festivales de 2016 en España.“
- El Mundo De Tulsa (Spain)
“...Carping seine eigene Klangpalette intensiviert und aufgefächert zu haben und bietet deutlich abwechslungsreiche Schattierungen an.“
- Der Bänkelsänger (Germany)

A Selection of Reviews

A Selection of Reviews of The Last Approval and Damn Old World
“Powerful. Actually, when I listen to it, I feel like an apocalypse horserider.”
- Absolut Noise (FR/UK)
“That rolling bassline with those slide guitars — magic — is it Mark Knopfler or am I putting myself into Dire Straits? I’ll pull myself out of the Menai Straits and confirm that this is actually a gentleman called Jonas Carping from Stockholm, Sweden.”
- Fresh On The Net - BBC6 New Music Blog (UK)
“the atmospheric, tense verses exploded into cathartic choruses, accented by a mournful slide guitar. jonas might be swedish, but he is schooled in the dramatic, hard-driving americana of bruce springsteen and tom petty.”
- The Modern Folk (US)
“Jonas Carping skapar ganska vemodig musik och det känns ärligt ända från hjärtat, han har också en röst som man kan lyssna på i evigheter. ”
- Being Blogged (SWE)
“Musikalisch wiederum eine Perle irgendwo zwischen Folk, Americana und Indie-Pop. Und dann ist da ja noch diese verdammte Stimme. Einfach außerordentlich.”
- Schallgrenzen (DE)
"...ett större sound, med ekande gitarrer som påminner om både Mark Knopfler och U2 och där pådrivande pukor lotsar oss fram till stora, öppna refränger. Vackert, behagligt men också med nerv och dramatik."
- Meadow Music (SE)
„The Last Approval“ eine außerordentlich gut Single geglückt. Es ist schon immer wieder erstaunlich wie viel Kreativität und Herzblut sich wie bei ihm in Musik verwandelt."
- Soundkartell (DE)
“A balada melancólica traz percussão marcante e timbres discretos que acompanham o vocal grave do músico em uma letra sobre liberdade. Ela cresce consideravelmente ao longo de seus cinco minutos e termina daquele jeito dramático e belo que tanto nos chama atenção no trabalho do sueco.“
- Musicapavé (BR)
“ Hace unas semanas disfrutamos de su primer single "The Last Approval" un lujo de single que nos dejaba con ganas de más. Hoy mismo acaba de lanzar su segundo single "Damn Old World" antes de publicar su nuevo disco "Cocktails & Gasoline"que saldra el próximo 7 de Octubre de 2015. Desde El Mundo de Tulsa recomendamos la escucha de sus dos primeros singles.”
- El Mundo de Tulsa (ESP)
“..a mix of folk n’ americana (‘Breathless Helpless’), his late compatriot Gustaf Kjellvander and his The Fine Arts Showcase, and Norway’s Madrugada (‘The Last Approval’ and ‘Damn Old World’) if the first three tastes are to be trusted. Either way it sounds like it could be a pretty great album…”
- All Scandinavian (DK)

The Remix Project
Me and producer Martin Karlsson have been involved in an exciting project which was released today through the Brasilian musicsite Musicapavé.
The project evolves around the idea of two bands remixing eachothers songs. There are no rules, only the music. As the first European act to be a part of this project me and Martin remixed a song called La Revolucion by the excellent Brasilian band Monoclub. Monoclub remixed One More Song, and they did a truly awesome job. You can check out both songs right here;

The Last Approval Lyrics
The Last Approval
There’s something being lost in here, there’s something being lost in here
there’s someone bleeding out in here, there’s someone bleeding out in here
for all that’s burning in here
You watched them rule by fear
then how come you’re so easily scared
Someone buried their lives in here, all their wrong doings, their love and their tears
did you really think we wouldn’t care
the soil it is rotten in here, the soil it is rotten in here
you brought with you every single thing we fear
You watched them rule by fear
then how come you’re so easily scared
You caused them winds of change
you caused that dying last approval
of fortune and fame
and now you’re here to change the game
So that only the winner shall remain
it’s a rigged and shady game
made out for sorrow and pain
now its played for all that will remain
after those who thrive for personal gain
You watched them rule by fear
then how come you’re so easily scared
You caused them winds of change
you caused that dying last approval
of fortune and fame
and now you’re here to change the game
is there a buried cause in here, is there a buried cause in here
all these words the don’t lead us anywhere
can’t separate the truth from the lie, can’t separate the truth from the lie
the only way to tell is by the tear in your eye
You, you watched them rule by fear
then how come you’re so easily scared
You caused them winds of change
you caused that dying last approval
of fortune and fame
you’re not here to change anything
you’re not here to change the game
you’re only here to make it stay the same

It's a limitless collaboration with no musical boundries. The first single "Hur Det Blev Som Det Blev" was released on Walpurgis and on this day in history Manifestet unleashed their second single "Rännstenens Kungar".
