In the ever-in-flux city of Boston, Karate positioned themselves as a crucial tendril in a sprawling nationwide community. They did so largely by refusing to stick to any single formula from the myriad of styles at their root-slowcore, post-hardcore, and jazz. As if to make a point, Karate's lineup went through it's own shift too. In the lead up to 1997's In Place of Real Insight, Eamonn Vitt took up the guitar, and Karate compatriot Jeff Goddard entered the fold to become the band's bassist. Armed with two guitarists, the band got significantly louder, and they smeared punk fury all over their second LP. At it's most intense moments, In Place of Real Insight bestows the kind of rowdiness that elevated hardcore base buried deep within the unconscious of their music-it comes out most vividly when Geoff Farina and Vitt trade throat-searing shouts and bite-sized barks on \"New Martini.\" So many lesser bands with two guitarists and a copy of In on the Kill Taker at their disposal felt the need to try their hand at being Fugazi, Karate evaded such pratfalls, though Goddard's compact, quicksilver basswork and Gavin McCarthy's fractured drumming on the bridge for \"New New\" contain the same rhythmic electricity that the D.C. legends wielded so well. For the most part, Karate used their larger palette to intensify their already alluring musical sensibilities. Farina and Vitt's gentle guitars nearly mirror each other as they carry the drawn-out tension of \"The New Hangout Condition\" to it's equanimous conclusion, though Karate wouldn't hold that mood for long; they made quick work of disrupting such peacefulness with the needling disquiet that opens \"On Cutting,\" a rare track that cast a spotlight on Vitt's understated vocals. Karate emboldened the quiet moments of In Place of Real Insight with the same forcefulness of it's archly punk cuts, effectively allowing the tenderness that blankets \"Today Or Tomorrow\" to coexist alongside their rough-hewn material. Karate made sense of seemingly polarizing styles, and In Place of Real Insight is arguably their best album because they allowed such disparate parts to co-mingle. In a subversive music community oscillating between radical polemics and hair-splitting musical orthodoxy, Karate were a question mark-one that exhibited the scene's best instincts, because they sounded like few others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Plus Slow Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New Martini\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wake Up Decide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e It's 98 Stop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e New New\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The New Hangout Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On Cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Die Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Today or Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Numero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45005815611613,"sku":"825764190459","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4178383-2946486.jpg?v=1727236793"},{"product_id":"karate-karate-cornetto-iex","title":"Karate- Karate - Cornetto (iex) (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Numero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45006556922077,"sku":"825764190657","price":34.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4191936-2966228.jpg?v=1727215689"},{"product_id":"karate-make-it-fit","title":"Karate- Make It Fit (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first new music from the post-emo trio in two decades.

The quiet moments on Karate's millennium busting fourth album carry much of that old, unbridled intensity, braided into subdued jazz melodies and slowcore restraint. This 25th anniversary edition of Unsolved replicates the original 2000 pressing's side D, and includes the Death Kit 7\" and split with Crown Hate Ruin.

Boston's Karate emerged as a force that could grip a national youth movement whose disparate tastes still commingled in the inky pages of fanzines overflowing with florid prose and on concert calendars for volunteer-run DIY spaces, community centers, and bowling alleys. In this world, Karate's music was an enigma, one equally inviting to sneering punks and highfalutin indie-rock aficionados.Their 1996 self-titled debut, issued on Southern Records, set the standard. Lasooing together white-knuckle posthardcore tension, sharply focused slowcore serenity, and resplendent jazz complexity, Karate eschewed settling in any one definiable style. But they certainly used the language of punk to get their point across; occasionally, guitarist Geoff Farina abandons his warm, hushed cadences for a hoarse shout that made him sound ragged, intensifying an aggression that burst out with every snaggletoothed guitar riff or drum snap that went off like canonfire. Few followed their path-but who could keep up? Karate could make pensive moods blossom into feverish rollicking (\"What Is Sleep?\"), gracefully tip-toe around aggressive punk explosions without getting bent out of shape (\"Bodies\"), and stretch out slowcore's quietest reveries till their reflective notes sound ripped from an improvisational jazz session (\"Caffeine or Me?\"). Karate formally introduced the trio as a vital part of an independent U.S. punk scene stubbornly flowering in the face of the major labels' '90s harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf You Can Hold Your Breath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrophy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is Sleep\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e- - -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBad Tattoo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Sister\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaffeine or Me?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 825764190374\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Numero\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46974522425565,"sku":"825764190374","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4178382-2946485.jpg?v=1762833268"},{"product_id":"karate-complete-studio-recordings","title":"Karate- Complete Studio Recordings (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCrashing at the unlikely intersection of post-hardcore, slowcore, and jazz-rock, Karate spent a dozen years producing peerless recordings in their adopted hometown of Boston.
