"more hooks than a pirate ship." - baltimore city paper 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. With their new album, The Art Of Distraction, the band has finally found the perfect sound. 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. A band that must be seen live to be truly appreciated, Karmella's Game wins over virtually every audience they perform for. Heads bob, hands clap, and spontaneous dancing breaks out virtually every night as they play hit after hit. They've toured all over the eastern half of the country, and have been fortunate enough to share the stage with lots of amazing bands, many of which you may have heard of. But really, you should just listen to one of the songs at the top of this page, and decide for yourself. To book Karmella's Game, or for any other inquiries, e-mail contact@karmellasgame.com. What He Doesn't Know Wont Hurt Him and The Art of Distraction are released by Speedbump Recordings.

I saw you guys last year at the Sidewinder Bar in Baltimore. It was my first show, I'll always remember it... you guys are great live, and I love Art of Distraction. Keep it up guys and gals, and if you ever get close(r) to Richmond I'll definitely be there.

I went to one of your shows as a kid in Chalmette, LA. Small town outside of New Orleans. You played in Brett Patton's house. I miss you guys.

Karmella's Game rocks. If you ever wanted to rock out to synth keyboards and poppy female-fronted vocals, there is no other like KG. I got to see them at Swayze's in Atlanta... crappy venue, but the show was great anyways. Full of energy, and songs were true to their album versions. I love these guys.
