Photos: KARATE STEVE (Maynard, MA) – 2023/07/28

KARATE STEVE is a metal band from Boston, Massachusetts founded by guitarist Ben Davis and bassist Earl Brown in October 2015 with the intent to recreate a more stripped-down rock band along the likes of Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath. At full force, KARATE STEVE is as heavy and tight as a tank in a studio apartment, and they always pay their rent on time because they’re handsome good boys.

The sludge’n’rollers made their debut with the release of their first album, Living to Let You Down, in 2019. Their followup full-length No Way Out But Through hit the streets in 2022.
