Crash Karma - Crash Karma

Review by Robert Forslund

Crash Karma's self-titled debut album is a hard-hitting, energetic rock record that showcases the band's impressive musicianship and songwriting skills. The album is a collaboration between four Canadian rock veterans - Edwin (formerly of I Mother Earth), Mike Turner (ex-Our Lady Peace), Jeff Burrows (The Tea Party), and Amir Epstein (Zygote).

From the opening track "Awake" to the closing number "Fight", Crash Karma delivers a powerful and cohesive set of songs that blend elements of hard rock, alternative, and post-grunge. The band's chemistry is evident throughout the album, with each member contributing their unique style and sound to create a cohesive and dynamic record.

Highlights include the anthemic "On My Own", the driving "Lost", and the haunting ballad "Believe". Edwin's distinctive vocals soar above the heavy guitar riffs and pounding drums, while Turner's guitar work is both melodic and aggressive. Burrows and Epstein provide a solid rhythm section that keeps the songs driving forward.

Summary by Robert Forslund

Crash Karma's debut album is a must-listen for fans of hard rock and alternative music. It's a confident and accomplished release from a band that has quickly established itself as a force to be reckoned with.
