karate

karate is one of the staples mid 90s indie rock. whether quiet or loud, they have a certain raw intensity. singer/guitarist geoff farina has great guitar parts and lyrics. "the new hangout condition" from the in place of real insight lp is one of their best songs. karate's first 2 albums are definitely worth getting. the later stuff has been kinda so-so in my opinion. 1997. southern records.
