old wave new ride

A little over seven years ago, three guys in Boston named Geoff, Gavin, and Eamonn started a band called Karate. In November of 1994, they recorded two songs entitled "Death Kit" and "Nerve" for their debut 7". It came out in January of 1995 as the debut release of The Self-Starter Foundation. Cut to 2001.

Eamonn left Karate a couple of years ago to start the process of becoming Eamonn Vitt, MD. But just because he's going to be a doctor doesn't mean he doesn't want to play music anymore. He calls up a bunch of friends, holes up in the studio, and records a bunch of songs. Featuring lots of friends and guests (Fred Erskine from June of 44, Jud Ehrbar of Varnaline, etc.), this 5-song EP filled with acoustic guitars, harmonica, horns, and keyboards is a radical departure from Karate.
