Kharma 45 - Come On

Beguiling synth-driven pop-rock with a latent punk influence.

Single Review by Neil Ferguson | 06 Jan 2008
Single title: Come On
Artist: Kharma 45
Label: Warner
Kharma 45's second single, Come On, is exactly the kind of melodic electro-indie that floats around on radio airwaves and inside heads for months without ever really having a name or a face. All beguiling synth-driven pop-rock with a latent punk influence, it carries the omnipresent influences of The Faint and fuses it with a passing hint of big beat and a bit of Madchester Hacienda-tastic indie ambience thrown in for measure. It's exuberant stuff, but ultimately it just doesn't wave its arm high or enthusiastically enough to distinguish it from its peers. [Neil Ferguson]
