London-based rock duo Rival Karma is back with a bang, delivering their high-energy anthem “Chew It!” on November 29, 2024. This marks their first release since their 2022 sophomore EP, Powerduism. With two years of relentless touring and writing, Rival Karma is gearing up for a dynamic 2025, dripping out tracks from their upcoming LP and setting the stage for an epic year in rock music.
“Chew It!” started as a quirky live performance moment and evolved into a metaphorical, unapologetically fun anthem. Originally inspired by the simple act of chewing gum, the track transforms this everyday habit into a rebellious escape in a dystopian world where even the smallest pleasures are outlawed. The crowd-chanting hook, “Chew It!”, has become a live show favorite, resonating long after the lights go down. Rival Karma captures that infectious energy in this track, crafting a 90s-inspired rock anthem with post-apocalyptic flair.
The duo worked with engineer Andrea Mastroiacovo (known for his work with Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes) to ensure “Chew It!” packs the sonic punch fans have come to expect. Alongside the release, Rival Karma is set to drop an “absurdly beautiful” music video on December 12, 2024, further expanding their creative vision.
Since their formation in 2018, Rival Karma has built a reputation for delivering raw, powerful rock with modern sensibilities. From their 2019 debut EP to being featured on Spotify’s All New Rock playlist and receiving airplay on BBC Introducing London, Amazing Radio, and Sirius XM, the band has proven their ability to captivate audiences.
With an exciting European tour spanning four countries in 2025 and a UK headline tour in the spring, Rival Karma is poised to shake up the rock scene. “Chew It!” is just the beginning of what promises to be a thrilling chapter for the band and their fans.
