The 2nd Annual Nigwek: Festival for an Organic PEI scheduled for Sunday, September 5, 2010 in downtown Charlottetown, is quickly turning into a premier event for PEI’s Fall Flavours month. With the lineup of talent, the number of food vendors, the cooking demos, the family activities, and the guest speakers all shaping up to be even more to take in than last year, it is certain that Nigwek 2010 will prove to be an even greater success this time around.

The self-titled debut from Toronto’s Crash Karma - Edwin (ex-I Mother Earth), drummer Jeff Burrows (ex-The Tea Party), guitarist Mike Turner (ex-Our Lady Peace) - is the result of three musicians with multi-platinum pedigrees coming together with one equally skilled musician, Amir Epstein (ex-Zygote).

The band came together in 2008 when Edwin was three albums into a successful solo career; Mike was running The Pocket Studio, as well as playing with the band Fair Ground; and Jeff, now an on-air host at CKUE The Rock in Windsor, Ontario, had the No. 1 midday show in his market, while still guesting on various drum sessions. Amir, the bass player and songwriter in the popular jam band, Zygote, had returned from law school in Australia and was working in criminal defence.

Self-produced by Mike at The Pocket, Crash Karma is an all-out rock record with songs that are heavy, intricate, big, intense and melodic with a sound that can only result from the combination of these four guys with their respective history, chemistry and musical prowess.

The first single "Awake" is a psychedelic, other-worldly percussive rock trip into a higher consciousness; "Fight" is an aggressive accusatory punch-up about reflection and perseverance; the mercurial "Next Life" hopes for a different outcome from the troubles of this life, while the acoustic ballad, "Lost" (featuring guitarist Ian Thornley), is sentimental and tender. The insistent rocker, "Man I Used To Be," is a reminder that the past only has value if you learn from it.

Crash Karma has ended up with a fantastic album that will easily join the ranks of releases from their previous bands of which they are still proud. Crashing karmically indeed, the four have running jokes now and a camaraderie that came not just from their musical connection, but friendship.

"I enjoy hanging out with the guys," says Ed. "Our dynamic is really cool. There’s no bullshit, no pretention and no ego - there’s a great energy. It’s not like work. I look forward to it. Most importantly, everyone is equal. There’s no one guy above anybody else."

That’s a democracy and that’s Crash Karma.
