What band did you discover in 2021 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? What made them significant?
I'd say Age Of Apocalypse. They were one of the bands that I had heard of beforehand, but I hadn't really dug deep into until 2021. They're probably some of the most musically talented people in hardcore right now. Shoutout to their vocalist. Dude's got pipes.
How will you remember 2021? (In terms of music)
In 2021, Kharma went on the biggest tour we've ever done and learned a lot on that run. So I'd say I'll remember 2021 for that tour specifically and just for being the return of this thing we all love so much.
What can we look forward to from you in 2022?
In 2022, Kharma will be doing everything we can to play in every place we can. The entire US, Europe, Japan, anywhere that wants us.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2022?
I'm looking forward to a lot of stuff that I've heard is in the works. New Kendrick Lamar, Judiciary, Regulate, and so many others that I'm probably forgetting off the top of my head.
What went through your head the first time you played live in 2021 after the delay? (If you haven’t -- what do you anticipate when you hit that point?)
I don't remember the exact thoughts in the moment because I sort of just blacked out, but I was pretty emotional afterwards. The shutdown was the longest I'd gone without playing a show since I was like 13 years old. I'm so glad we're back.
