About us

While the last unobtrusively melancholic sounding Karmakab song rings from my headphones, I go up the steps of the Peakrider Studios where the band have their rehearsal room. I've already seen Karmakab live a few times and would like to take them under management. I hear a loud stimulated conversation paired with the scent of freshly ground coffee from the kitchen of the studio and meet the guitarist and singer Josh Pschunder, who has abviously drunk lots and I mean lots of coffee, while "Hellmood Asperger" (bass guitar) continues to euphorically speak about the new album. Drummer David Suhlrie, who only recently joined the band, is also working on his music studies in Hamburg. Because I’m interested in the people behind the music and the varying musical influences, I’d like to get to know them better.

Josh, how did you get into music? "I wanted a guitar at the age of 4, obviously hoping with a childish naivety and intuition that this would make a good impression on the domestic disastrousness. Unfortunately, the much-hoped-for harmony did not really happen later on!"

Josh, how would you describe your childhood? "Hopefully hopeless!!! I went to a Catholic private school and the morning confession was a daily ritual! I somehow always had a guilty conscience! Because of my physical underdevelopment, they also wanted to put me back a year. Those who where meant to be responsible for my well-being changed their minds and I wasn’t transferred to a different year and class.
