Kinsella & Pulse, LLC |

Progressive jazz infused post-rock

Formed in Boston in 1993 by Geoff Farina, Eamonn Vitt and Gavin McCarthy, Karate added Jeff Goddard on bass in 1995. The band released six studio albums, two EPs, numerous singles, and split 7”s between 1994 and 2005. From punk roots, the band ventured widely—veering into jazz-rock, post-rock and a unique version of slowcore in its progressive indie experimentation. Karate reunited in 2022 to support the re-release of its music on Numero Group.

Make It Fit, the band’s first album in 20 years, doesn’t try to recapture a youthful, DIY-era magic. Instead, it picks up where Karate’s three musicians are today: with a deeper skillset, adult angst cut through with moments of joy, punctuated with searing instrumental performances.

The music of the recently re-established Kinsella & Pulse, LLC, focuses on innovative postmodern pop. Their latest album, Open ing Night, offers a surprising new direction, showcasing the restless creativity and impressive talents of the unique experimental artists.
