Sounds Like
"Spearheaded by the superb vocals of lead singer Jane Stanness. The band create an innovative sound which is both exciting and instantly appreciable. Jane's stage presence is matched by her hauntingly graceful voice and depth is provided by a mixture of subtle guitar licks and a tasteful rhythm section. Through a mixture of P. J. Harvey style vocals, interesting chord progressions and ghostly lead guitar fills, KarmaDeva are a unique band with a powerful sound and an array of eclectic songs with an unusually epic quality."
Decode Magazine
"Unique, balsy with powerful vocals."
Carling Academy
"It becomes instantly apparent how strong and charismatic their Patti Smith-esque vocalist is. The band display an affinity with U2, Flea and Mars Volta. With the evocative "Dark Days", these odd components strike a cohesive balance."
Venue Magazine
"All about Eve on Crystal Meth."
The Louisiana, Bristol
"Folky without being twee, heavy without being metal. Siouxsie Sioux meets P. J. Harvey, watch out here comes KarmaDeva."
The Joiners, Southampton.
"An absolutely brilliant live band.
Newport City Live Arena
"After seeing KarmaDeva I have had to re-arrange my list of all time favourite female singer-songwriters to include Jane Stanness. The bands brand of no-nonsense rock/pop delivered straight from the heart was an absolute breath of fresh air. This music needs no hype. Listen up good!"
The Assembly Rooms
"With Disgrace KarmaDeva pay homage to the New-wave post-punk sound of the
British bands of the early 80's. Perfected by the brilliant vocals of their
charismatic singer JJ Stanness."

A cool, unforgiving urgency combines with post punk – though funkier than that usually dares to be – to create the unique sound of KarmaDeva.
KD are fronted by the enigmatic and unpredictable JJ Stanness, whose prom dress-and-bunches sweetness are streaked with a darkness betraying her former life as a mordantly satirical writer. Fans have likened her voice to Patti Smith and whilst they share a smokily compelling penetration, JJ reveals her individuality with seductive, soaring and at times touchingly vulnerable vocals.
KarmaDeva have exploded onto the UK scene, their powerful stage presence captivating audiences, drawing them into the excitement and dark poetic melancholy of their songs. This is a band with real depth and resonance, whose vivid and lyrical imagery of love, longing and redemption seduce your consciousness, hook you in, and take up residence.
Under the leadership of core members singer-songwriter JJ Stanness and bassist Pete Stanness the line up is by completed drummer Gav Loynes and guitarist Beau Stevens.
They have shared the stage with an eclectic mix of bands including The Holloways, People in Planes, The Avengers, Ten Years After, Lena Lovich, Echobelly, Caravan, The Damned, Dr Feelgood and the legendary Arthur Lee and Love.
Distinctive and wonderfully original they are currently sweeping across the country like a brooding electric storm full of grace and power.
