The follow-up to their show-stopping UK Top 20 album 'Promised Land', The Karma Effect arrive with their third record, 'Cruel Intentions' - the most complete, crystal-clear realisation of their ambitions yet: leaner, louder, heavier, and joyously larger-than-life.

Exploring love, lust, and danger with dark passion and flashes of cheekiness, the songs balance swagger and wit. The band's modus operandi is "modern vintage", a desire to polish up the retro sounds they were raised on into a gleaming, modern product.

"We want to be a stadium rock band," says Henry. "Every show should feel massive - like you're watching something built for the big stage."
