Energetic, keyboard-driven rock music with four-part harmonies and analog synthesizers. That more or less sums up Baltimore’s Karmella’s Game, but that’d be a pretty short bio.
Built around a mountain of keyboards, the band features siblings KTO (keys) and Joe O. (drums), Mandy K.(bass), and Aaaron (guitar), the latter having recently moved cross-country for the sole purpose of joining the group. KTO handles lead vocal duties, but all four sing on almost every song. The Charm City based four piece draws comparisons to such acts as The Rentals, Reggie and the Full Effect, The Anniversary, and even The Cars, but ultimately builds a synth-rock/power-pop sound that is all their own.
After 4 years and numerous lineup changes, the band has finally found the perfect sound, as showcased in their 2006 release “The Art of Distraction.” Building on the foundation heard in their 2003 debut EP “What He Doesn’t Know Won’t Hurt Him,” the album takes Karmella’s Game’s sound to the next stage, featuring a level of songwriting craftsmanship that is all too rarely heard in today’s musical scene. This is evident on such sure-fire hits as “A Lullabye,” “Skip the Funeral,” and “Safely Negative,” to name just a few. From the first note to the last your toes will be tapping, and the “play” button will inevitably be pressed again and again.
