The Karma Effect

Having been 2024's most explosive movers and shakers in blues rock, The Karma Effect's newly reissued eponymous debut album offers rock fans the chance to delve into the rising of the band before they struck lightning – seemingly out of nowhere – with their UK Top 20 sophomore album Promised Land (released via Earache Records in 2024). Although comprising of live favourites such as “Testify” and “Doubt She's Coming Back”, as heard throughout 2024 on their Promised Land headline tour and at beloved festivals like Maid of Stone, many may be yet to explore the band's debut offering due to the restrictions laid on a band who were bold enough to self-release an album during the pandemic. With other successes such as a Top 3 Planet Rock Radio airplay chart spot and a track immortalised in Classic Rock Magazine's Ultimate 2024 Playlist achieved last year, it's the perfect time to commemorate where the band started. The reissue also sees the band present a hidden gem of a track in “Shine On”, which has never before been released on physical formats.
