About Me


karma (kärm) n.
The total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny
juggernaut (jgr-nôt) n.
An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path.
Karmic Juggernaut began as the nux of four teenage bohemians desperate to curve the direction of current musical standards. By mixing intense melodies with an organic feel, they hope to soon avert the ears of the average listener to their brand of sound, one with feel and flow.By beholding music as a blank canvas of endless possiblilities, they have begun to explore different ways of attaining that goal to capture the chaos of life while taming its qualities. The fusion of psychedelic rock, jazz, blues, funk, latin, classical, and worldbeat makes for a unique blend from the scattered minds that each of the four members has to bring to the table. They ask you to take a listen from an open perspective and hopefully enjoy what you hear.....
