 BOSTON, MA. (Nor'easter Productions/ www.karmicbrick.com) - The Unnatural World is set for worldwide release on October 1, 2004. It will be available through CD Baby, Amazon.com, Target.com, Tower Records, and Barnes and Noble among others. Additionally, Karmic Brick has accepted invitations to appear on Alt-Rock compilation albums from Kid Antrim Music and Oasis CD Manufacturing, as well as the 'Indiethon For The Cure' compilation to benefit Juvenile Diabetes and HIV. Grunge-laced guitar riffs pounding over ethereal melodies and beaten back by alluring harmonies. Imagine Nirvana with PMS meets The GoGos on massive amounts of steroids and you're getting warm.
The unique sound of Karmic Brick sparked attention almost immediately upon introducing themselves to the internet indie music community in early 2004. They have already built a broad and devoted international fan base by unleashing only a taste of what's to come from their debut album, The Unnatural World. The four tracks released, 'Pain,' 'High,' 'Amber Jesus,' and 'Experience Jones,' have yielded over 10,000 plays on www.soundclick.com in only six months, which also propelled 'Pain' to an impressive two-week stay at No 1 on the Soundclick Grunge chart.
Fans have described the band's sound as 'fresh and artistic' with 'tight arrangements' and 'great vocals and harmonies,' and industry insiders agree:
'Pain Equals Pleasure - 'Pain' starts off with a descending punky riff and then launches into a gritty little rocker. This is on the right side of 80s rock. Think of a harder version of Blondie or Toyah and you're getting close.
It's definitely grungey in this little chamber of sado-masochism. It has all the elements. Thrashing guitars, punchy bass, a well-flogged drumkit and best of all: Mistress Garino whips us into shape with a fine vocal delivery worthy of many a post punk goddess. Champion stuff.' - Ripping Tracks (www.rippingtracks.com)
'Amber Jesus - easy swinging alternative rift. Vocals remind me a bit of the early Pretenders in a good way. Very topical (or intravenous as it were) lyrics.
Experience Jones - Again, lyrical content is very intelligent and delivered cleanly enough to engage me but stylistically enough to be enjoyable with the mind clutch depressed. Guitar solo is fuzzidelically smooth and creamy.... it's like ice cream it's so good.' --Ed Drury, Moderator- www.indiehangout.com
Such strong reviews have helped to spread Karmic Brick's music like wildfire. The band can now be heard on a number of internet radio stations such as www.scrubradio.com, www.freeworldradio.com, and www.soundclick.com.
Anticipation is high for The Unnatural World, with fans and critics alike anxious to hear more of what Karmic Brick has to offer.
