My Music Episode 490 - Atakarma
from My Music · host Graham Coath
New Episode: ATAKARMA – From Punk to Funk (and Everything in Between!)Blimey, Mother—look how many people have stepped into the room today! My word, there are five of us on this episode of MyMusic with me, Graham Coath, joined by the brilliant band ATAKARMA. This is one of the liveliest episodes yet, with the full lineup joining me for laughs, stories, and a lot of love for music (and a bit of moaning about car space).📍 Hailing from all over—from Derbyshire to Northamptonshire to Manchester—they’ve somehow converged in Sheffield to make music that’s hard to box in. Blues-inspired indie rock? Yep. Bit of punk? Definitely. Sprinkle of funk? You bet. A dash of grunge and a pinch of desperation? Absolutely.🎤 We talk about:How ATAKARMA formed through random gigs and bar chats (and the myth of the spontaneously combusting drummer)Describing their sound in four totally different—but equally brilliant—waysVocal influences from Noel Gallagher to The Darkness (tight trousers and falsetto included)What it’s really like gigging in a 2007 Volkswagen Polo with a full band and drum kitTips for infiltrating festivals (hint: it might involve playing in skips)Their plans for new releases, festival appearances, and that all-important bigger car🎵 New single out March 28th – don’t miss it!Follow ATAKARMA on socials @atakarmaband, check out their website atakarmaband.com, and keep your eyes peeled for their next gig (maybe even in your city... if you’ve got room in your van).And if you’re feeling generous, offer them a lift and they might even buy you a pint (no promises).👉 Catch this and more at mymusicpodcast.com🎧 Listen, laugh, and fall in love with a band you’ll definitely want on your playlist.#MyMusicPodcast #ATAKARMA #IndieRock #SheffieldMusicScene #NewMusic #BandLife #UnsignedHype #SupportLocalMusic
