The Karma Effect

Dirty vintage rock n roll; the bastard lovechild of Black Crowes vs Aerosmith with a step-sibling of Greta Van Fleet

Formed during the Covid pandemic by a bunch of long-time school friends and musical acquaintances, The Karma Effect, are a 21st Century take on a classic 70s rock, roll n soul sound; big on keys, guitar riffs and huge vocal melody, all combining into a grandiose sonic soundscape that draws upon the best of yesteryear. Their debut album epitomises this philosophy. It’s a no-nonsense throwback, encapsulating the energy of good time, arena, rock n roll, brought bang up to date.

The album, The Karma Effect, featured 8 scintillating songs, written in solitary bedrooms and over zoom calls as the world tackled the desperate viral pandemic… songs that have capturing hearts and minds across the UK with a passionate, full-throttle live show.

Their debut album had everything that appeals to fans of real Rock ’n’ Roll - a tight and groovy rhythm section, infectious guitar riffs, and soaring vocal melodies, the band left no stone unturned in creating a sound equally fit for sweaty clubs or huge arenas.

Now, the anticipation builds for album two, slated for release in early 2024.

·         Sold out shows with Massive Wagons

·         Sold out shows across the UK including Blackpool, Stoke, Gravesend, Oxted & London
