Fast-rising South London rockers The Karma Effect have shared yet another absolute banger today in the shape of brand new single ‘Ride Or Die.’
The third track to be released from the five-piece’s much-anticipated forthcoming album ‘Cruel Intentions’., ‘Ride Or Die’ follows acclaimed singles ‘Waiting On A Miracle’ and ‘Dangerous Love,’ both of which were voted Track Of The Week by Classic Rock Magazine readers as well as receiving extensive airplay from the likes of Planet Rock Radio.
The Karma Effect’s powerhouse vocalist Henry Gottelier says of the new single; “’Ride Or Die’ was one of the standout tracks when we came to put this record together. It took us into slightly different territory as a band, built around a more stripped-back, laid-back groove and a feel reminiscent of bands like AC/DC. We’ve always been careful not to lean too heavily in that direction, but this song felt so natural from the very beginning – it had our feet tapping almost instantly.
“At its core, it’s a song about freedom,” explains Henry. “The freedom to be who you want to be, do what you want to do, and not let anyone stand in your way. It captures the rush of teenage lust and love, the thrill of exploration and passion, but also the bigger picture – that life is a journey for every one of us, and sometimes you just need to buckle up and enjoy the ride.”
