If You Can Hold Your Breath

Karate's first five years, boxed in classic Numero fashion and annotated by frontman Geoff Farina. Collaging DC post-hardcore, de Stijl, and Django Reinhardt, this five LP set includes their self-titled debut, In Place of Real Insight, The Bed Is In The Ocean, period 7"s, and previously unissued 1993 demo. 41 late millennium accounts of 2am bike rides, punk house floors, skinny dipping, regrettable tattoos, and Interstate 95 commuting, all remastered from the original tapes and housed in sturdy tip-on sleeves for the discerning Karate enthusiast. Don't drown.
