   The Valley Advocate — Sometimes Internet dating can have unexpected consequences.  While most everyone has a story about finding instant chemistry with a stranger online or meeting someone they'd rather forget, not every couple decides to forego a relationship and start a band instead.Score one for the Grimm Generation.  Formed in 2010, the band features core members Jason P. Krug (acoustic guitar and vocals) and Carmen Champagne (vocals), as well as Dave Hogan (electric guitar) and Mike Mastracchio (bass). The Grimm Generation started after a chance meeting on the dating website Match.com...(read the entire review)

   Hartford Courant — The Grimm Generation has never lacked for confidence: The Windsor duo talked about itself with a sense of established, playful, importance before it had done much to actually establish any, on the local scene or elsewhere. Jason P.

But the Windsor, CT-based band, The Grimm Generation’s The Last Record Party is truly a songwriting fête that explores the not-so-shocking underbelly of suburban sexual ennui and apocalyptical romances. As with their previous three EP’s, these latest songs are a rollicking collection of odes to illicit pleasures and bad relationships, as well as a smattering of sexual tension and seduction that borders on exploitation. And thankfully, this duo in their 40’s still has the energy to pursue these diversions.
    The aptly named ingénue, Carmen Champagne (vocals), and her foil, Jason P. Krug (guitar and vocals), have created a whopping 18-track song-cycle that’s part fictional memoir and part dirty ...(read the entire revew)  — Vincent Bator
