Fuzz-powered alt rock from London duo Rival Karma

Fuzzed-powered rockers Rival Karma return with their third single ‘Go!’ ahead of the band’s debut EP.

The London-based alt rock duo shares the first single that is to be featured on the EP, titled A.Y.N (Are You Ninja) on June 21.

‘Go!’ is the finished product of a determined pursuit to write a song inspired by an iconic movie scene. As the band were watching the famous ‘Everyone be cool, this is a robbery’ scene from ​Tarantino’s​ Pulp Fiction​, they instantly felt compelled to grab their instruments and to create their own musical interpretation of the heist and getaway. The single’s striking neo-psychedelic artwork is by notable Miami graphic designer ​Lola Blu.

​Rival Karma’s Martin William Ross (guitar & vocals) and PJ Ciarla (drums) channel the energy and vibrancy of London’s city streets and combine them with the muscular and gritty sounds of grunge and classic rock. The duo incorporates Martin’s blend of French and American heritage and PJ’s Italian blood into a distinctive style of alt-rock rich in stylistic flair.

Since 2017 the London-based band have toured across France, Switzerland and Italy, and most recently toured the US West Coast from Phoenix to Seattle with ​Sofar Sounds. Rival Karma will play Camden Rocks Festival on June 1.
