Karp was a rock band from Olympia, Washington, that formed in 1990 and lasted until 1998. The band was formed by Chris Smith aka Chris Slayer (of Newlyweds and Witchypoo), Jared Warren, and Scott Jernigan. They released three full length albums entitled Mustaches Wild, Suplex, and Self Titled LP. (Note that "Self Titled LP" is a literal title. The title is not "Karp." Even the CD version of the record is titled "Self Titled LP.") They also released several EPs and 7" records. Their recordings were released by several Northwest-related labels such as K Records, Kill Rock Stars, and Punk In My Vitamins. Karp managed to mix the terror of hardcore, The Melvins, and Black Sabbath with an ear for pop-influenced song assembly. The band name is inspired from a newsletter/zine that Chris Smith put out in highschool and is an acronym that stands for "Kill All Redneck Pricks".
Members went on to play with Tight Bros from Way Back When, The Whip, Dead Air Fresheners, and Big Business (currently playing with The Melvins). Drummer Scott Jernigan died in a boating accident on June 10th, 2003.
NY-based documentarian Bill Badgley (from the rock band Federation X) is currently at work on a Karp documentary, due out sometime in late 2009/early 2010, a preview of which was shown in Seattle October 22nd. [1]
