Reviews:
Faster and Louder -- This is no joke record. Both bands brought top-notch contributions to this split. It works as a celebration of curling, and it works as terrific pop music.
Power Pop News -- All four songs have a fun vibe about them... I can safely way that this is the best curling EP I’ve ever heard. If you’re into sports songs, Olympic-themed music, or just want to hear power pop without pretense, this may be for you.
Mick/Just Some Punk Songs -- The Zambonis take a laid back almost country approach with "Sweep Me Over The Hogline," whilst "Curling Girl" is not only the cutest girl in town, but she likes both hockey and The Ramones. No wonder they love her! Vista Blue pick up the pace with the 60's smash hit that never was, "Curling All Around The USA." If there's any bands around at the moment that are catchier than Vista Blue, please let me know.
Paul Silver/Jersey Beat -- Two songs from each band are featured on this EP. The Zambonis provide the countrified “Sweep Me Over the Hog Line” and the power pop track “Curling Girl,” the latter of which morphs into a sort of doo-wop song toward its end. The two songs from the prolific Vista Blue include “Curling All Around the USA” and “Girl Who Can Curl,” both in their unique style that blends noisy guitars, pop punk esthetics, and Beach Boys melodies and harmonies. A must for any curling fan.
