FITNESS release debut album ‘Karate’
FITNESS is the new musical project from Max Collins (Eve 6) and Kenny Carkeet (ex-AWOLNATION) as they aim to create a sound that is incredibly unique, pairing alt-rock melodies with aggressive synth pop.
Collins and Carkeet met in back in 2012 while watching a Public Enemy set at a radio festival that they were playing with their respective bands at the time.
Both looking for a new creative outlet and the need for freedom to express their pent-up creativity. Max and Kenny got together in LA and began writing songs together, fusing elements of rock and electronic music, crafting a sound that is uniquely their own.
Having released music since 2016, the duo now share their debut album ‘Karate’. They hit the ground running with the first single off the LP, ‘Matter of Time’ reaching over 500,000 streams on Spotify.
Their psych-pop fuelled masterpiece has certainly shown off their creative talents as they move away from their respected bands’ music. Going down a more electronic-pop/rock route ‘Karate’ is a kick-ass album.
FITNESS also head out on a US tour this month in celebration of the LP release, tickets and dates are below.
