Artist History Karma formed from the ashes of two great regional bands. The Drummer, Paul, and the singer, Chris played together for almost four years tearing up the eastern side of the Carolinas while Dave the lead guitarist was doing the same on the western side. The two formidable rock groups shared a few gigs which led to after parties where they would jam on the acoustic till the sun came up. This would eventually be the start of something huge but unseen as of yet.

Group Members Dave McGhee Lead guitar. Paul LaMarr drums/vocals. Jeremy Hozjan Bassist.

Instruments Fender, and Zion guitars, Messa Boogie amps, Washburn Basses w/Ampeg Rig, DW drums & Zildjian cymbals.

Press Reviews QZ zine, Godsofmusic.com had this to say, ''Last 100 Days' is lyrically powerful, the musicianship is outstanding, the lead vocalist fits nicely (a little Weiland, a little Scallions) and for lack of better words...KARMA kicks some serious Dogma For the full story, go to www.godsofmusic.com and look for our review... ...Gods of Music did a second review on Complicated, "This band belongs on the radio. They belong on the radio now. Note to all Program Directors and Music Directors: This band will not let you down. These guys deserve a shot at the brass ring. I can only hope they get it soon enough. Bottom line: You could put this into the midst of your rock collection and not even notice that it isn't a chart topping band." For the rest of the story, visit www.godsofmusic.com ...Another webzine called prognaut.com did a review and here's what was said; Karma is North Carolina's premier modern rock band done much in the vein of Nickleback, Creed, Puddle of Mudd & Pearl Jam (as I hear a bit of Eddie Vedder in Chris' vocals). Although Karma is not progressive rock band it is an important independent alternative release. I'm generally not into this style of music based on the amounts of progressive rock music I've heard over the years but it does have some powerful song writing and structure. This is some great anthemic music. Balls to the walls old fashioned headbanging music. A nice alternative if you happened to be all progged out or you want something in your collection to appeal to your significiant other. The single "Waiting For You" on October 8th, behind the offical release of "Running On Adrenaline" and I can see it climbing the charts and a possible staple on MTV & VH-1. For some good ole rock'n'roll modernize, Karma is the band for you! ~Ron for ProgNaut.com [September 15th, 2002]

Additional Info KARMA was also selected to headline SLAB-fest 2002 at the HARD ROCK CAFE in Atlanta GA. The band was picked out of over a thousand submissions from six states.
