Audio Karate

Published: March 3, 2021, 8 a.m.

Audio Karate made waves as members of the Kung-Fu Records roster back the 90s/early 00s.  During their initial run from 1995-2005, they released two full length albums and toured heavily to support those releases with the likes of The Vandals, Tsunami Bomb & more in the U.S., Europe and Japan.

Fast-forward to 2018, the band announced that they were going to be re-issuing their debut album Space Camp via Wiretap Records/Hidden Homes along with a string of shows with The Descendents and appearances at Fest.  Not long after that, they announced a new album, Malo, which was released via A-F Records/SBAM/Wiretap Records.  Additionally, they recently self-released a re-issue of their sophomore effort, Lady Melody, to much fanfare.

On this episode, we discuss their time as a band and what it was like to come back after such a long break.  We discuss their experience being a Chicano band and why they chose to self-release their latest vinyl reissue.  And they give me their 5 desert island albums
