Description:
Bad Karma began in the summer of 1995 when Vocalist/Guitarist Erik Wilcox and Drummer Kelly Heiser decided to form a band based on a variety of influences, including metal, punk, new wave, and progressive rock. Their vision was to create a unique sound with male and female lead vocals, heavy, yet catchy songs, and an energetic live show. After undergoing several changes, they found Vocalist/Keyboardist Kate Smith, Bassist Steven Scott, and Programmer/Backup Singer Jessica Dentice. Through the years, Bad Karma released 4 full length CDs, played a record label showcase in New York, and performed hundreds of shows across the western U.S., building a modest following and garnering quite a bit of press. In 2001, they shot a music video, which rose to .. 1, and remained in the top slot for almost two years, on respected indie music site, undergroundfilm.com. After releasing the CD "Point A" in July of 2004 to positive press reviews, and playing shows to support the record, Bad Karma began writing new material for a loosely based concept album entitled "Absence of Faith". This CD promises to be their heaviest and best work to date, while maintaining the unique sound that sets them apart from everyone else. Featuring intricate melodies and driving beats, these songs take the band in a slightly new direction, with an angrier and heavier overall sound. The catchy choruses and punk/metal crossover sound that Bad Karma is known for is still there, but musically, the band decided to challenge themselves, and the result is positively epic. Recorded at Westonhouse Studios near Sacramento, Ca. in the spring of 2006, "Absence of Faith" is planned for a September release, with shows to follow. Look for it!
