Karma Factory started back in the 90's, with a group of High School friends who loved to write songs and perform them.  Back then we were called "Sabre" but even before that as freshman, Ken, Scott and Tim Bowen would get together and create such fan favorite songs like "Dry Heaves" and songs about farts.  This morphed into more serious pursuits by our senior year adding a real drummer (Martin Pitcherello) and another guitar player the late Eddie Class, playing in battle of the bands and getting a gig here and there.  College had us going our own ways, Scott went off to Glassboro State College and then BIT, Tim to Messiah and then Temple Univ in Philadelphia, Martin to Rutgers and Ken first to Mercer County and then to Pittsburgh Univ.  Ed's way went a different path, to doing daring things like race car driving and scuba diving instructor in the Philippines.  In 1995, Scott came back to NJ and started up a new band "Karma Factory" with Martin, Ken and new bass player Matt Twers.
