Sundara Karma, are a young Berkshire quartet based in Reading seem comfortable enough operating under the moniker; even if it sounds like Bollywood megastar, or a particularly benevolent type of ice-cream.
Oscar Lulu, Haydn Evans, Ally Baty and Dom Cordell are all seventeen at the time of writing, having got together under the Sundara Karma banner two and a half years ago, so that basically means they were snoozing in GCSE maths by day and chugging out huge trop-pop guitar hooks by night.
That approach seems to have served them okay so far, as their first EP “Night” due out late February, displays a strong affinity for key indie conventions. Big hunky percussion. Louche reverbed guitar twanging. A frontman with a hazy paisley-printed lilt to rival Jonathan Pierce. blissed out choruses, replete with sweetly cooed Swim Deep, Sundara Karma have all your surf-rock and midwest sounds here
