    TOP STORIES
    Beginning in 2005, local Cranbourne musicians and friends Luke and Budgie, decide to start the original band they always wanted to join but couldn’t find. Something heavy, but with scope for experimenting in and outside the genre. Recruiting Rohan from another local band on bass they start advertising in the Melbourne music press for a vocalist. Ryan, a West Australian who has moved to Melbourne to follow his musical journey, is found and the line-up completed.

    Diving head first into working mode, they start writing and decide to record the first 4 songs completed as a demo. “Music from the Bunker” is the title given to this recording. “The Bunker” being the name given to the rehearsal room where the songs were born. At the same time as recording in the studio, more songs were being written. Playing live in front of an audience was the ultimate goal, and as soon as they had enough for a 45min set, they set out to bring some Bad Karma to as many people as possible.

    Starting out at the Barley Corn Hotel in Collingwood on a Tuesday night, they have steadily built up a loyal fan base playing at venues around the city such as The Empress Hotel, Noise Bar, Musicland and The Espy. Once the gig at The Espy was secured, they decided to record 2 more songs, “What It Takes” and “The Reality”, and launch a single at this time, which turned into a great success.
