Rising out of the dingy, boarded up holiday underworld that is Blackpool, The Karma Party have come to make their mark on this tiny island as a thorn in the side of the establishment -- four proud nemeses of the government, the royal family, celebrity culture, the banking system and the music industry. They are outsiders, firm proponents of "punk-step" -- an innovative, punchy sound incorporating punk, hardcore, darkstep and dub elements with fast, melodic guitars and electronica, peppered with rapid-fire destructive lyrics that explode into social consciousness.
