Listen to a song from Exit Verse, the new band from Karate’s Geoff Farina
During its time together, Karate displayed how diverse interests could meld together to form an indie-rock band that could never quite be pinned down. Since Karate’s dissolution, band leader Geoff Farina has released solo albums that saw him trade his post-rock leanings for something decidedly lighter. In 2013, he formed Exit Verse, featuring other indie-rock elder statesmen such as Chisel’s John Dugan and Tight Phantomz’ Pete Croke.
