WHAT IT IS: Sundara Karma means “beautiful karma” in Sanskrit. Dealing in anthemic guitar music with soaring choruses, brooding romanticism and a sense of euphoric uplift, Oscar Pollock(vocals, guitar), Haydn Evans (drums), Dom Cordell (bass) and Ally Baty (guitar) make up the Reading four-piece that has spent 2016 firmly establishing itself as the hottest new band around. They’ve been attracting a feverishly dedicated, cult fan base, selling out crammed, sweaty venues up and down the U.K.
