Exit Verse (ex-Karate) will be playing at MOTR Pub on December 13th behind their self-titled debut, out now!
Singer/guitarist Geoff Farina (Karate, Secret Stars, Glorytellers) teamed up with drummer John Dugan (Chisel, Edsel) and bassist Pete Croke (Brokeback, Tight Phantoms) to form Exit Verse early in 2013. On their debut album, Farina belts out catchy rockers with more vigor than he has in two decades.
The album's concise, gutty anthems ring of the mid-90s when the guitar-driven Karate was shaking basements and DIY venues across the country. The angular rhythms of "Seeds" and the simmering "Fiddle & Flame" evoke the Karate of In Place Of Real Insight, but the new band demonstrates stronger rock roots, and resounds the classic rock radio and 70s/80s punk vinyl of Farina's youth. Farina still delivers his songs with the urgency of Karate's most bellicose moments, but with less self-consciousness and more determination.
Go get to know Exit Verse Saturday at MOTR Pub with New Sincerity Works! Show is at 10p and is FREE. Go RSVP to the event HERE!
