Karate’s If You Can Hold Your Breath is the definitive deep dive into one of indie rock’s most quietly influential bands. This stunning 5LP box set captures the Boston trio’s first five years - a period where post-hardcore intensity met jazz sophistication and poetic introspection in a way no one else could quite replicate.

This meticulously assembled collection includes their self-titled debut, In Place of Real Insight, The Bed Is In The Ocean, plus period 7"s and a previously unreleased 1993 demo. Across 41 tracks, Karate chart their evolution from scrappy basement shows to intricate, emotionally charged compositions that still sound fresh decades later. It’s a journey through late-night reflections, punk-house wanderings, and fleeting moments of clarity caught between distortion and delicacy.

Frontman Geoff Farina’s commentary threads the set together, offering an intimate glimpse into the band’s creative process and evolution. Remastered from the original tapes and pressed to audiophile-quality vinyl, each record comes housed in deluxe tip-on sleeves - a hallmark of Numero Group’s archival craftsmanship.

If You Can Hold Your Breath is more than a box set - it’s a time capsule of 90s underground innovation, where punk ideals met jazz phrasing and created something completely timeless. For fans of the era’s most artful noise, this is the collection that finally lets Karate breathe in full.
