The Bellingham Herald

If you have heard of Karp or remember listening to this Tumwater-based band back in the 90s (1990-98), it pretty much changed something about you or how you viewed Pacific Northwest area punk/hardcore/rock/underground music. The band released three albums and became influences for several bands later, and to this day has a cult-like following because of its unique combination of sound and short-but-sweet career.

If you haven’t heard of Karp, this is your chance to find out more about the band that was when the documentary “Kill All Redneck Pricks: A Documentary Film about a Band Called KARP” plays at the Pickford Film Center at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19. Click here for more information. The film is done by Bill Badgley of Federation X fame and has been shown around the world since 2009.

During my radio show days at KUGS 89.3 FM in 1996 and 1997, I would play a Karp song almost every show and it was usually this one. Enjoy.

Here is a poster of the documentary:
