"This is the second time I've witnessed local funk outfit Trikarma play in a small venue to a modest crowd, and both times it has seemed just a little strange. Strange that is, that a band this slick should exist in such relative obscurity." "Unknown as they might be for the time being, nothing about Trikarma says: 'Upcoming indie act'. Everything about them says 'We're ready now'. LIVE REVIEW - MANCHESTER LANE - JESSE SCHROCK - Beat Magazine, 28 Jan 2009. - Jesse Schrock - Beat Magazine
"Have you ever listened to an artist's music for the first time, and wondered how it is that you haven't heard of them before? I'm betting that's the feeling that will be sparked between every set of ears that should happen on local funk outfit Trikarma's debut album LOVINGLIFE". Trikarma is an "improbably slick local outfit" and the band's grooves have a "seamless flow". "The lyrics are first and foremost an argument for the power of positive affirmation" - Interview article with Jesse Schrock - Beat Magazine - Nov 26, 2008. - Jesse Schrock
"Melbourne based pop group Trikarma have delivered a stellar debut album with LOVINGLIFE. Think Maroon 5, Dave Matthews Band and Jamiroquai all rolled into one to create an eclectic and undeniably amazing album." "The title track Lovinglife is overflowing with jazz inspired riffs, romantically inclined lyrics and brilliantly matched music and vocals, making it very hard to believe that this is in fact their fist album." Kelly Fletcher, Gympie Times - Oct 24, 2008. - Kelly Fletcher
