Carp is an American rock band formed in 1968, known for their unique blend of blues, country, and rock genres. The band featured notable members such as Mark Andes, later of Spirit and Heart, and Robby Krieger, post his stint with The Doors. Despite their short-lived tenure, Carp's self-titled album, released in 1969, left a significant impact in the rock community. Their signature sound is characterized by raw vocals, bluesy guitar riffs, and a strong rhythm section, which made them a distinctive force in the late 1960s music scene.
