Sounds Like"Always just that little bit of an enigma, Karn8 have once again laid down some great tracks, all 13 of them actually. This album is very laid back and chilled affair that is getting damn close to perfecting their female fronted Bluesy Goth Rock. Kirst's voice has a very sensual edge and works just as well when she is lilting a refrain as it does when she is adding a bit of power and passion. Being a three piece the sound is kept clean and crisp. Bones's single guitar work and Leigh's balanced drumming, working to compliment both the vocals and the lyrics..."
- Phoenix @ Devolutionmag

"Of All The Strange Things is an excellent display of gritty rock music and it's impossible to put a finger on anything bad here. Where it succeeds most prominently is in the tone and character of just about every song. Close your eyes and you'll find yourself lying on your back in a rye field, sipping a glass of bourbon, reminiscing about the good old days. Much of this owes to Kirst's sexy, Southern-tinged vocal performance, which gives the album its sleazy, laid back attitude. So pull out a bottle of whiskey and a pack of cigarettes if you like, slide this disc in and let yourself be seduced by the sly provocateur that is Karn8."
- Aleksi @ Rockfreaks.net


"Just like Jack Daniels, this song oozes with cool mellow riffs and a laid back foot-tapping rhythm. So crack out the bourbon as Karn8 have just given you the soundtrack to the end of the day"
- Chris @ Substock

"The band derive their influences from 60s Led Zeppelin, to the grunge of Alice in Chains, all the time managing to keep a sense of their own identity. Combine that with The Doors and you begin to understand the essence of Of All The Strange Things"
- Joseph Kusionowicz @ Reading Post

" Running Free and Old No.7 conjure up images of rugged denim and empty whiskey bottles. Certainly anyone considering a road trip across America should make room for this disc in their luggage."
- Warwick Payne @ The Hampshire Chronicle

"The Karn8 experience is a hard rock assault with a blues edge which evokes obvious comparisons to the likes of Queens of the Stone Age and Kings of Leon. Karn8 are certainly a name to look for in the future."
- © Steven Cookson @ Suite101.com

"Firing off with some dirty guitars and blues infected vocals, spliced neatly with hard rock drums, Karn8 have seamlessly managed to create a sound that will no doubt see them grabbing at admirers of everything from The Kings Of Leon to The Distillers."
- © Dom @ Spheremag

"This band does nothing but keeps on getting better, definitely keep your eye on this 3-piece of Rock n' Roll fire"
- © Delisha @ Pretty Eccentric

"It starts with an ominous bass rumble. Somehow, looking at the leather clad rockers on the front, you kind of guessed it would. Mark them down as one to watch out for in 2009."
- © Andy @ Bubblegumslut magazine

"Karn8 are a different breed. The band have found their sound, just where they like it deep down, in the dirt. And now they are on the rise. Enjoy."
- © Dom Smith @ Talk Magazine

"Karn8 drew a bigger crowd, and it wasn't a surprise when Kirst took to the stage. With long blond hair, stockinged legs she'd be enough to stop a man in their tracks. But with hips writhing, and lips pouting added to the mix, everyone stopped in their tracks."
- © Fearandwonder.com

"In short it’s the sort of sleaze dear old mum and dad warned you about, with Kirst's velvet vocals purring over a thumping rhythm section coupled with grinding guitars." - © Matt Harold @ GIITTV

"As sexy and dark as ever, Kirst's vocals create that strangely seductive, yet utterly filthy sound which has become the hallmark of Karn8"
- © LaLa @ Ultimate Sound

"Guitars grunt and grind, and Kirst's vocals add a menacingly intimate edge. A sultry yet sharp accumulation of good ideas and interesting influences, Karn8 burn bright."
- © Ones To Watch @ 44 Caliber

"Sleazy, dirty, Rock N Roll, this is a band to grind to, to fuck to, or to simply rock the fuck out to. These guys (and girl) are going to be huge!"
- © Emma @ Noizefront

"This little EP is definitley one that cries out for rotation. Karn8 are definitaley working hard and becoming a great band with no doubt a dedicated underground fan base - I urge you to check them out."
- © Nickie @ Devolution

"One thing is for sure, vocalist Kirst isnt just a pretty face, the girl can sing, and she has a seductively sweet voice that lingers long in the mind and is as addictive as the music itself."
- © Steve @ Rock Of Ages

"With a strong image and confident stage presence Karn8 grind their way through a buzzy rock set with a professionalism that puts them out in front of most bands."
- © Sophie @ Southscene

"Karn8 have got the show. They received a fantastic response from their ever-eager audience, and really got the crowd going with well known songs."
- © Robin @ Ultimatesound

"Karn8 are a paradoxical mix of the brutal and the beautiful, blending a nice line in crushing riffery with sugary female vocals. Fronted by the very beautiful and just slightly deranged blonde bombshell Kirst."
- © Alison B @ BubblegumSlut

"Karn8 live in a dark, dirty, damp corner of some rank basement. Musically a nod to all things dark and heavy; Kirst provides those oh so sweet breathless whispers before nailing you to the floor."
- © Grebo @ Vanity Project

"The energy of their playing comes through well on the EP but is no substitute for the visual experience of them dominating an audience."
- © Kevin @ Josaka

"They look like the kind of people who would handcuff you in a dungeon and torture you very slowly, or is that just me getting carried away? Rock music should be dirty and sweaty and Karn8 are just the band to get you to there."
- © Grebo @ Organart.com

"Sex & sleaze, this band makes you feel dirty in the best kind of way. A vocalist who can kick it with the big boys, with a voice that drips sex and bass lines to move your soul, this is YOUR band."
- © Noizefront

   About Karn8


Formed in 2002 in Hampshire, England. Karn8 started out as heavy dirty rock, influenced at the time by bands such as Marilyn Manson, Alice in Chains and Queen Adreena. Their sound has somewhat evolved and mellowed over the years to incorporate a blues twist and capture the essence of bands such as Queens of the Stone Age and The Doors.

Following the departure of Keyboardist Kinghorn in 2006 the groups ever changing line up has now settled with the simplicity of a three piece, Leigh on drums, Bones on guitars and Kirst taking vocals and centre stage. The new sound captures both the warmth of retro acts such as Jefferson Airplane to the edginess of modern day rock.

Hey Bones,

I saw you back when you supported Seasons End at the Coventry Jail house. Then we saw you again when you came back with Spit like this. My boyfriend and I brought your EP and have been fans ever since. :)
