PRESSING INFORMATION
+ TRANSCLUCENT "DEAD EYES" COLOURED VINYL
With a pop-infused flair and a barrage of saxophone infused noise that puts a refreshing twist on punk, Bristol based noise collective Knives have stormed the UK alternative scene with their pop infused amalgamation of Post-punk, Hardcore, Rap, and Noise. They return with their sophomore EP, "What We See In Their Eyes", which channels their discontent with certain individuals in Bristol who defy the city's welcoming image. Serving as a sonic reflection, the mosh-pit inducing EP beckons listeners to step into the shoes of the disgruntled.
Knives embody all the essential components for a punk powerhouse to flourish. Vocalist Jay Schottlander‘s fierce delivery akin to a punk town crier infuses their music with raw energy and urgency. Ben Marshall‘s pulsating bass lines drive their distinct sound forward with unstoppable momentum. The dynamic interplay between guitarists Dan Farren and Josh Cook unleashes crunchy riffs, adding a gritty edge to their sonic palette. Erin Cook‘s hard-hitting drums provide an electrifying backbone, while Maddy Hill‘s bluesy saxophone and distinctive vocals inject a unique feminine touch, creating an enthralling contrast with Schottlander’s baritone howls. Together, these elements converge in the collaborative brilliance that defines Knives. "What We See In Their Eyes" encourages audiences to confront those they resent and ponder the unsaid sentiments they long to convey.
