En Karma's self titled debut album has reached number 1 on Canada's Itunes World Music Chart. Not a bad result given it was only just released.

Initially, it was the love of Bhangra and the desire to perform live music that brought together this group of talented friends. In 2007, finding the need to flex their creative muscle, En Karma began writing and recording their own style of Bhangra music. Having  toured vastly across North America and Europe, En Karma has embarked on a journey that has lead them to be the pioneers of Global Live Bhangra! They have accompanied and shared the stage with many famous North American and International  artists such as Malkit Singh, Sam Roberts just mention a few.

Our favorite Swedish pop band Sambassadeur (ok, maybe it’s a tie between them and The Radio Dept.) released the debut video “I Can Try” from their recent album EUROPEANS a couple weeks ago. Like everything else about the band, it’s beautiful, elegant, and just a little fanciful... See it now at Stereogum, who says it’s “sorta like Charles Dickens meets Huck Finn meets Laurie Anderson in the Swedish countryside.”

Busy week ahead for the chaps and chappette of My Other Friend. They're set to release their album 'Burning Bright Tonight' in New York City at the Mercury Lounge this coming Monday 26th of July.

Venue: Mercury Lounge

Date: Monday 26th July

Album drops on the 27th - look out for more hubub on that here @themusbox shortly.
