The band released six studio albums, two EPs, numerous singles, and split 7”s between 1994 and 2005. From punk roots, the band ventured widely—veering into jazz-rock, post-rock and a unique version of slowcore in its progressive indie experimentation. The band re-emerges in Fall 2024 with Make It Fit, its first new studio record since 2004’s Pockets. Make It Fit, the band’s first album in 20 years, doesn’t try to recapture a youthful, DIY-era magic. Instead, it picks up where Karate’s three musicians are today: with a deeper skillset, adult angst cut through with moments of joy, punctuated with searing instrumental performances. Make It Fit is the opposite of a cynical cash-in. It’s daring, requiring a full commitment from band and audience. And Karate’s reunion is soaking in gratitude. This time around, Farina says he appreciates it all more. “I appreciate that I’m playing a show. I used to get up on stage and be annoyed at this and be annoyedat that. Now I get up on stage and feel incredibly lucky. Just being able to do it again is so much fun. Justhearing us together on stage feels so right. https://linktr.ee/thebandkarate
