Together, these Brooklyn natives are getting a chance to do it right. Throughout 2002, vocalist Luke Ambrose, guitarist Stephen Sannicandro, drummer Mike Argano and bassist Frank La Natra have melded their wide-ranging musical backgrounds into a story of converging paths and emerging sounds. Though the guys attended the same high school, their strengths as individual musicians kept them busy with other projects, and timing kept them apart. Somehow La Natra knew it was his job to bring them together…Argano and La Natra had been laying down tracks together for almost ten years: bass and drum, funk and jazz fusion. Desiring to marry their fierce undercurrent rhythm with gut-wrenching emotion, they searched for the other players. Sannicandro was taking a hiatus after finishing a project, and Ambrose was solo, honing his songwriting skills and frequenting open-mic nights. Word of mouth led to introductions, exchanging demos, and eventually a commitment to try. After just a few rehearsals, songwriting became an organic team effort and the results were overwhelming. KarmaCycle’s world of close neighborhoods, mutual friends and shared experiences has yielded an earnest and gritty playing. The rhythm section swells with hard-core musicianship, while intense guitar riffs and soul-replenishing vocals bring you back home – a worthwhile journey. With the help and expertise of underground producer T-San, their first album, Scared, is now available. Ron Allaire of Skyline Studios, who has worked with The Ramones, Bo Diddley, AC/DC, Fuel and Keith Richards, engineered the album.Having played “The Core Tour” at Jones Beach this summer, they are primed totake audiences by storm.
