KARMIC UNREST

Karmic Unrest is Seattle's collision of distortion, groove, and rebellion — a five-piece force blending Hard Rock, Punk, and Psychedelic Soul into something raw, melodic, and unapologetically alive.

Driven by the heavy guitars of Tony Stevens and Jake Carden, the thunder of Shane Smith's bass and Ian Caruso's drums, and the fierce vocals of frontwoman Ayesha Brooks, the band delivers a sound that is both explosive and deeply human. Grit meets groove. Chaos meets melody.

After two EPs that established their underground presence, Karmic Unrest released their debut full-length album STATIC through Friendo Records and Sound Records.

Fueled by the social and civil unrest of 2020 — symbolized by the masked face on its cover — STATIC is a concept record rooted in distortion, rage, and awakening. Through a fictional narrative of oppression and resistance, the album dives into psychological unraveling, grief, fury, and transformation, capturing the emotional voltage of a woman pushed past her limits.
