Crunchy Number from Kid Karate

Leave a comment

kidkarateIt continues to amaze me what two people can accomplish musically.  It seems like one would be tied down by limitations, but that apparently is not the case with Kid Karate.  The song starts out with pulsing electronics, but then bursts into a louder stomping guitar track ready-built for destruction.  Lyrics explode in a dynamic fashion, adding to the edge created as the song begins to unfold; it ends with this quiet piano outro that adds a nice soft touch to the angst-fueled attitude. You can find this tune on the band’s Lights Out EP, which comes your way next week.

Kid Karate is an Irish band that I wanted to check out during a rare appearance at SXSW, but my feet didn’t get moving fast enough to see any of their sets.  To make up for this goof, I thought I’d share with you a new single from the band entitled “This City” found below.  Now for those of you unacquainted with the group will notice a distinct feel of Death From Above mixed in with the likes of The Rapture or similar squealing vocal bands.  This tune is a fast paced jam that makes me want to pump my fist in the are while doing my best MJ dance moves at the same time.  Is that even possible?  Stay tuned for more information on a proper release from Kid Karate as we receive the details.
