How did
you get here?
Formed 2003/ released karate kills ep, which was very
well received as was the Karate Kills tour/ split ep out now on 7"
with The Favours/ currently recording debut album when not on the M4.
Describe
your sound:
If
J Mascis and Lou Barlow spawned three children and subsequently had them
adopted by Renee and Renato, within 25 years they would have formed a
band in Cardiff called The International Karate Plus. FACT.
Joyzine said:
"Lets
hope bands like these will put end to the banal noise that NME lovers
everywhere seem to be unable to get enough of right now."

Something Special:
We
have already experienced Fame, Mike has met Jules Holland, Richie's dad
did the 'Golden Lay' egg adverts in the 80's and there's a good chance
Chris is related to Zorba the Greek. Greatness is in our blood.
What to expect:
A
lot of fun, a bit like Butlins on ketamine! our gigs are always clean
so there is only a slim chance of contracting MRSA
