Swooping down on the earth like a mystical bird of flame, (kaj) provides a rebirth of rock from the ashes of it's predecessors. Driven by a strong vocal presence and melodic guitar riffs and brought together with intense bass undertones and driving rhythmic patterns producing a sound that you aren't likely to forget.

(kaj) is currently getting great response to their second cd, released on March 14, 2005, entitled "Bombs", engineered by Chris Lohr of "The Yards" (signed to Rust Records/Universal) at Lohrs Productions in Pittsburgh, PA, mastered by Rob Garrison (formerly of the Buzz Poets) in San Antonio, TX. With backing from Bill Domiano at AK Musicscene (www.akmusicscene.com), an organization designed to help support and promote unsigned music worldwide, (kaj) has been able to bring their high-energy "Rock Your Face Off" sound to the online community in various different formats, including streaming audio and video at such sites as: www.indiebandradio.com, www.megarockradio.com, www.fnr-radio.com, www.garageband.com, www.purevolume.com and others.

The song "Stranded" has been at #1 since July, 2004. Along with internet radio airplay, (kaj) has received airplay on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's 102.5 WDVE and 93.7 WRKZ "K-Rock".
