Agents of Karma sounds like Melting Pot Rock! Chock full of secret ingredients, exotic spices and tasty meats, it's been pressure cooking at low heat for decades and it's ready to explode ! Food and music both capture the art of the bold and the subtle. It's as much about the presentation as the flavor. We taste and listen with our eyes as much as our ears and nose. (Of course you can't smell the music) but if you could, music would present a cornucopia of scents. That cornucopia of sounds is Agents of Karma. After all we are what we eat and the members of AOK have dined on some of the most nutritious music ever recorded. Burning solo's ad spice, thoughtful lyrics ad fiber, a little uncrowded space in the music gives breath and spot on tenacity gives it direction. In short AOK sounds original!
What's Karma got to do with it? Good question, I suppose if you're a believer in such
things, Karma has everything to do with it. The Urban Dictionary defines an Agent of Karma as; {Someone who is sick of waiting for others to get what is coming to them, and by becoming an "Agent of Karma", they then bring the consequences upon the other
person themselves. Classification as the "Agent of Karma" makes it so that you are then not eligible for any bad karma to then be returned onto you.} I guess you can say that this band has decided not to wait for others to create the kind of Rock they want to hear! The band name Agents of Karma has a life of it's own, and the fortuitous acronym A.O.K. was a happy accident. A force of nature, this squad of escape artists, not content to languish in the confines of Tribute band hell, have picked the locks, shed their straight jacket's and fled into the night. Man, it ain't easy being Houdini, Nikola Tesla and Buckminster Fuller all rolled into one ball of high energy plasma, but it sure is fun. Agents of Karma is hard edged, inquisitive and politically aware. It's music ebbs n flows like the tides. The Yin and Yang of give and take are always present. But when it's time to join together and bring it home they're like an insane cab driver getting you to the airport with seconds to spare. And like the urban cowboys they are, these 3 unsung hero's will drive off into the sunset (Most likely Route 80 West) in search of an answer to the ultimate musical question. (Why do we play?) IE: To find out you have to come to a gig :)

Thanks for the love! I really like Fall Again and Thinkin Bout You as well. And yes, they are new songs.<br />They'll be on my new CD that's slated to be released early summer.<br /><br />I'll be in NYC in May, so please let me know if you have any shows lined up for that time.<br /><br />I love the vibe on MIRROR. Keep making music and, again, watch out for those wire hangers!!!<br /><br />Peace and love,<br />Setra
Loved "Mirror" at Liedy's. Love it now. I can just see myself sitting in Richie's basement with the lights out and a lava lamp going...only it's even better than hearing "White Room" or "Atlantis" for the 1000th time.
Please listen to the new song on my site "The Warning" written in "77" but still relevant to the state of our planet today I’ve recently re-recorded it
