KRASHKARMA

KRASHKARMA is a high-octane Hard Rock Force.  They will instantly up the adrenaline level of anyone within earshot. Their big, explosive sound conjures up the image of a musical army.  However KRASHKARMA is not as large as they sound.  They are but two.

KRASHKARAMA is one part Jersey Rock and one part German-engineered magic.  Based in Los Angeles, the duo is made up of New Jersey Native Niki Skistimas on drums and vocals and German transplant Ralph Dietel on vocals, guitar, and bass.  A live show may give the appearance of illusion, but sorcery is not at play.  It is in fact mad musical science.  See them live and you will understand how two people can do all of this at once.

KRASHKARMA is currently on tour with Chris Jericho and Fozzy.  Catch them at The Grammercy in New York City on April 11 and The Stone Pony in Asbury Park on April 14.  Tickets for the New York show are available HERE. Tickets for the Asbury Park show are available HERE  or in person at the Stone Pony box office (to skip the ticket fees).

KRASHKARMA's latest EP "Storm" is available now on CD and all streaming platforms.  It is a killer collection of singles released throughout the 2020 lockdown.  The duo is currently working on a brand new album.  The video for the lead single "Blind Faith" was featured as last week's Jersey Rock Video of the Week.

Tune to Jersey Rock on 95.9 The Rat Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11:30 pm to hear selections from KRASHKARMA's discography.  Niki and Ralph will call in to the show each night!
