Burning Karma
Hey we're Burning Karma, a hard rock band based around Cleveland, Ohio. We're 5 young guys without much band experience, but we've been together for about a year and are starting to get everything together and hopefully play some gigs in the upcoming months. Our sound, ideally, straddles that line between simplicity and complexity. That is, we have the simple hooks and melodies, and then we have decent chops to keep people interested.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We're scheduled to play the Battle of the Bands at Peabody's Downunder in Cleveland, OH on May 7., which will be our first live show. If we do well, we were told we would be booked for more shows at Peabody's in the future.
Your musical influences
We like to play LOUD. We have a wide array of influences, from Pearl Jam to Incubus to Pantera, and basicaly everything between, like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Led Zeppelin, etc. Basically hard rock music with blues, punk and funk influences.
