Its has been missing from our shelves for far too long. With so many bands taking the same indie rock indie pop approach and bringing nothing new to the table BMK stands out with their layers of guitar riffs steady drum beats lackadaisical echoing vocals and the odd sitar bringing it home. I had never heard of them until doing this review and I truly believe they deserve to be in the top 5 new bands for 2009 but hey we are still only in March. They reminded me of what Oasis promised with Whats The Story Morning Glory and going on the three tracks on this EP they deserve similar success that album brought. The similarity is best heard on their track Fall. On one hand you have this very obvious desire to have a loud stomping rock out or perhap... 2009-3-21 22:28:44 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#37282 Black Market Karma. Mr Wolfs Bristol. 22.01.2009 An impressive Bristol debut from Black Market Karma. They rode in from their native Kent to headline the inaugural Psychedelic Reaction night as relative unknowns and judging by the reaction of the approving crowd no doubt left with plenty of new interest. Four sharp young lads who had total confidence in where they were at and the music reflected their self assurance. Clearly influenced by the likes of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Black Rebel Motor Cycle Club they sidestepped the pastiche trap with ease and the strength of the songs and individual talent marked them out as a young British band to be genuinely excited about. I really liked their groove they fit together seamlessly. It helps that the man behind the drums was Reniesque which is never a bad thing and is a real ace in their pack. Dami gave them that fluidity missing from so many indie by numbers bands. Above all else they gave the room rhythm and the ... 2009-2-25 20:05:02 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#37223 TSM Radio Playlist Aite people Two of our tracks The Fall and Take what you get have been added to the TSM radio playlist.

Peace Stan B.M.K. 2009-2-24 21:44:15 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#36755 Cool cover cool band cool music just three ways to describe Black Market Karma. In a lazy yet efficient manner I could probably summarise this band by one word Class. Their metallic and textured sound shines through in Take What You Get the first song on this brilliant CD. The London based fourpiece act as the arch nemesis to shockingly overrated bands that currently fill the charts developing a real guitar thrashing sound to go with lead Stans fantastic vocals. The powerful music of BMK is comparable to Oasis and Black Rebel Motor Cycle in their approach and their energetic style would be suited to the festival scene. Its Gone is the highlight of the CD although all 3 tracks are top quality rock and roll. The three tracks are also available on the bands MySpace where theyll hopefully be releasing new tracks to compliment their fantastic opening songs. Expect to see Black Market Karma up there with the best in the near future because theyre one of the best bands Ive heard in 2009 so fa... 2009-2-16 14:40:59 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#36149 Black Market Karma EP Black Market Karma Black Market Karma are one of the few bands about that are taking their music almost entirely down the psychedelic route. Nowt wrong with that. In fact I applaud Black Market Karma for their guts cuz many still see psychedelic music as being retro and very 60s. Quite why I dont know cuz this kinda music to me offers much more feel and warmth than the more obvious runofthemill indie rock that weve been bombarded with now for several years. For me psychedelia aint retro its a valid and viable genre in todays fickle marketplace and theres absolutely no reason why Black Market Karma shouldnt do very well with it. Ok its gotta be good and its gotta be very appealing but I feel Black Market Karma match the criteria and some This is a really damn fine EP only three tracks maybe but very tempting they are and show that this is indeed a workable form for now and the future. Reminding me a little of Kula Shaker hey thats cool f... 2009-2-5 21:23:45 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#36147 QampA with Black Market KarmaRecently Black Market Karma guitarist and vocalist and allaround great guy Stan was kind enough to answer some questions for me. I owe him a million thanks for taking the time to do this insightful interviewHow old are you and how long have you been making musicWere all 1819 and weve been making music together for around 2 years now. All of us have been musically connected in someway since our early school days but only reasonably recently have we started to find our sound and our place together as an outfit. I personally have been playing the guitar and trying my hand at my own music since I was thirteen. Since then weve all been flitting in and out of different bands together but its a really cool thing to finally be in a solid group and to feel right with where its going musically. How did you meet and form a bandWe all met in our school days. Our year seemed to unusually musical with a lot of young kids who could really play already and ... 2009-1-25 21:21:00 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#36146 Londonbased band Black Market Karma have released their first EP. The 3song disc is titled Psychedelic Circus an introduction and it is the bands lovely and alluring way of getting a bit of their music into your psyche. Take What You Get is a beautiful almost melancholic ballad that proves this band has feeling and can compose a song that evokes musings on ones special place in life and being aware of the good things surrounding us. This song gives voice and music to the feeling of loss and missing someone. Its Gone is a slowburner in the psychedelic fashion rolling drums lure you in swirly guitars wrap you up and moody vocals guide you through the journey of the song. At times a guitar on Its Gone sounds like raindrops on top of the tinroofdrums on top of the watery undercurrent of guitar. The closer of this debut EP The Fall picks up the pace to a Black Rebel Motorcycle ClubBaby 81style frenzy of growling dirty guitars and fierce drums with vocals that are equally fierce... 2009-1-24 21:19:19 http://www.blackmarketkarma.com/page5.htm#36144 Bristol Aite people how was your Christmas Have a good new year Etc etc You may know you may not know and you might not give a shit but we played Bristol last night. It was well worth the trip and we had a right ol kness up We were invited by Chris Dunn of Psychedelic Reaction Magazine to play Mr Wolfs. We were on the road for about 3 hours to be greeted by the most chilled out people you could meet. It was free beers all around groovey tunes and a PROPER soundcheck. Which was nice. We did have to put up with a pair of clowns giving it large though. Theyd obviously just stumbled in after a few drinks at the local Grimey Beats club thinking they were where its at. They had matching outfits and matching intelligence which was low. We took the piss out of them through song they didnt even catch on and then they got kicked out. Jokes. Its all a good laugh though eh After soundcheck we decided to bowl off around Bristol and take in the scenery followed by the usual supp... 2009-1-23 21:14:36
