Audio Karate signed to Kung Fu Records in fall 2001. They put out their debut album, Space Camp, on May 14, 2002. The album featured the songs "Nintendo 89," "Rosemead," and "Senior Year." After the release of Space Camp, Audio Karate toured the world with bands such as The Ataris, NOFX, Blink-182.
After the heavy touring, the band decided to take a break to write their next record. The result was an album named Lady Melody that was produced by Bill Stevenson of the Descendents. Lady Melody was released on June 1, 2004 on Kung Fu Records. Lady Melody is considered a much darker and angrier record than Space Camp. After the release of the record the band began to tour non-stop in support of it. At the end of the year, the band announced that they would take a "vacation". In 2005 a rumor spread that the band had broken up and this was later proven to be true.
On October 15, 2006 Audio Karate updated their fans via a blog entry on their MySpace page. The entry stated that vocalist/guitarist Arturo Barrios & guitarist Priscilla Camacho are writing the soundtrack to an independent movie titled "Maquillaje", a dark movie about botched love and suicide. It is directed by Marcial Rios, a friend of the band. The film is done entirely in Spanish. The music that they are writing for the movie doesn't sound like the typical Audio Karate songs; most of the songs have been fueled by heavy drinking. They also mentioned that they are working on a new album, but they don't know when it will be coming out, or when they will be able to go on tour again.
As of 2009 Audio Karate has released several new tracks through their myspace page, but there is still no news of an album release.

Audio Karate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You will never feel the same.
It doesn't seem to matter what you do.
I will fall in love with you.
Everyday I think we grow apart.
I saw this from the start.
Guess I knew that you and I won't be.
It doesn't mean that I can't dream about you.
Complete apart of me.
I never I have to feel.
Give you anything like the times I'd sing on the phone to you
it's not the easiest thing to do.
You know it's true.
You know it coulda been this way.
And I swear by my heart there is nothing on us
that won't keep us apart.
And all I have I swear I'd give to you.
All that I said
you and I will begin this way.
Fall in love with me,
It doesn't seem to matter what I say.
You will never be the same.
It doesn't seem to matter what you do.
I will fall in love with you.
And everyday I wonder how you feel.
Because the sarity is real.
I took my time to stop and call your name.
I know I shoulda screamed instead.
Do you miss meaning everything to me?
Not a day goes by.
If I had kissed you it just might
change our destiny.
We were meant to be.
I'm standing on one knee.
Won't you please just marry me.
You know it's true.
You know it shoulda been this way.
And I swear by my heart.
There is nothing on us that won't keep us apart.
And all I have I swear I'd give to you.
All that I said
you and I will begin this way.
Fall in love with me,
And I fell in love with you.
Mean that I can dream.
You say you were on your way.
Make it all come true.
Swear to God I'd die for you.
And give you anything
like the time Marie.
And all the times we've had.
No I'd never take it back.
You know it's true.
You know it shoulda been this way.
And I swear by my heart.
There is nothing on us that won't keep us apart.
And all I have I swear I'd give to you.
All that I said
you and I will begin this way.
Fall in love with me,
And I fell in love with you.
The lyrics of Audio Karate's song "Misfortune" seem to express the longing and regret of a person who is still in love with their ex-partner. Despite knowing that they are growing apart and that their relationship is unlikely to work out, the singer cannot help but continue to dream about their ex, thinking about them every day and wondering how they feel. The singer reflects on the past, thinking about how they used to sing to their ex on the phone and give them everything they could, but now they have lost them. They even go so far as to ask their ex-partner to marry them, even though they know that it cannot be.
Overall, the song expresses the bittersweet feeling of holding on to a love that is slipping away, wishing that things could be different but knowing that they cannot.

This was their first CD, it was self titled. They sold it at shows but I don't think it was ever put up on a merch site.
I believe the guys are working on a new CD under the band name Indian School :)
