Watch New Music Video “Karma” Here

Feb 2, 2023 – Santa Cruz, CA – Up-and-coming punk duo Raue is excited to share their forthcoming EP KARMA!!, available now on all streaming services. Featuring two brand new tracks, KARMA!! pulls inspiration from the 90s grunge scene; the band’s sound often draws comparisons to bands like the Pixies, Sonic Youth, Garbage, and Hole. Listen to the hard-hitting new release now, here: https://raue.os.fan/.

"It's two in the morning; you pick up an acoustic guitar and open up the voice memos app on your phone. Karma was a late-night catharsis that, like most, was almost completely overlooked,” the band shares of the EP’s title track. “It developed past the innocence of just a lick into a story patiently awaiting its turn. Subconsciously, the melody paved the direction of what is now defined in words. Lyrics came last.”

They continue: “Most music serves the purpose of lifting some kind of weight off shoulders, moving energy through; it's a friend you can trust with any unspoken word.

I want ‘Karma’ to be impactful and meaningful in a way that is unique to you; I don't want to influence your relationships with these songs. This art is yours.”

KARMA!! Is being released in partnership with iconic skate, surf, snow brand Volcom. The music video for the EP’s title track “Karma” was shot on location at Volcom’s skate park and can be watched here. Raue and Volcom are also making a crowd sourced video for “Ruby Glow”. Fans can Join in on the fun at the World According to Volcom Entertainment where they can download a creative folder of video overlays specifically for“Ruby Glow”.

About Raue:

Raue is a two-piece band reviving the 90’s alternative rock grunge sound with the performance and high energy of a punk band. Out of Santa Cruz, California, the band includes Paige Kalenian (18) and Jax Huckle (17). Paige writes and plays everything melodic for the songs, and Jax fills in with drums, resulting in a sound equivalent to a 5-piece band. They pull off their full sound live by triggering the instruments they aren’t physically playing. Jax drums while simultaneously “playing” bass by triggering 10-20 sec long samples sourced from the original studio recordings. Paige plays guitar and sings while kicking off the rest of the instruments heard in their songs via a pedal board. They don’t play with backing tracks, nor do they play to a click. They like flexibility, leaving room to let their inner punks express themselves on stage.

They released their debut album self-titled Raue in late June 2021. The album features 12 songs, and was followed up with a 4-track EP titled Erase & Rewind. The EP was distributed by AWAL and released in its entirety in April 2022.
