I wasn't too big a fan of Kublai Khans new single. Everything else they've done rips harder imo.

[@Kotsoros37]

These guys are definitely in my favorite modern bands, as you said just pure authenticity, and the vocals are fucking unhinged, while at the same time having amazing production

[@luke_cohen1]

I understand why the metalcore guys take those vocal lessons though. They have a long career ahead of them and don’t want to lose their voice before the end of their prime. It just sucks that you lose so much emotion in the process.

[@Kotsoros37]

@@luke_cohen1 for sure understandable, who knows though maybe Brian does it in a safe way, only time will tell!

[@warhorus2909]

Didn't like the vocals at first but they've grown on me the music proves that they are going somewhere and I hope they blow up

[@bluetoothpasteman5022]

​​​@@Kotsoros37Bryan has been screaming on consistent tours since at least 2016, if not earlier, with no major drop in vocal quality (if anything, his screams got better over the years), which might be misleading but hopefully means that whatever he is doing is safe and won't wear his voice out. I see why people don't like his voice, but it is just so angry and aggressive, I love it

[@RyanNJ]

They opened with Deep in the Willow a few weeks backs it was sick af

Knocked Loose are the modern version of what Korn was in 94-97. Really raw and heavy and real. No gimmicks or clean choruses, and a little bit of unhinged danger.

[@Quest4Horror]

Also that alot of their creepy guitar parts sound like Korn.

[@alexnicastro469]

For some reason seeing "CATERING PROVIDED BY HOLLY'S COUNTRY KITCHEN" in the credits of a knocked loose video had me cracking up

[@LilComedown]

I didn't notice this but now I kinda wanna travel to KY and eat there

[@staticslammedblazer]

@@LilComedown the video was actually filmed at Allerton mansion park in Monticello, IL, which is where Holly's country kitchen is located as well. Its Only about 30 minutes from me, and I'm only a bit bummed I didn't know knocked loose was 30 minutes from me filming a video.

[@coltonfrausell9047]

Bryan did say once that he literally just screams at the top of his lungs. I love the energy behind it.

[@Dismal626]

Knocked Loose is to Metalcore as No Pressure is to pop punk. Both bands are doing awesome things with the genres and keeping the scene alive.

[@cgrind3000]

Fell in love with this band the moment i heard Bryan's voice. There's this raw emotional chaos in it that I haven't really felt since w lost Lynn Straight and Snot.

[@bullsheets6151]

RIP

[@M4RCi92]

Might wanna check out Ringworm if you haven't heard of them yet. The vocalist is called Human Furnace and he's an absolute unit of a caveman just screaming his ASS OFF. My personal favorite album by them is Hammer of the Witch.

[@raven_g6667]

I love that Finn is worried about if a bunch of zoomers at a skatepark cares if he's cool or not lolz. It's adorable.

[@Magdalena8008s]

They are playing in my backyard essentially tonight at Bonnaroo. And I can't wait. I've been lucky to grow up in the tiny Tennessee town where it takes place and see legends from Meshuggah to Dillinger to Eminem play in the field behind my house. Now with that said, I expect them to get a massive reaction at Bonnaroo. And with them touring with rappers the sky is the limit as to where they can go.

[@gethigheatastar]

Dillinger played Bonnaroo?

[@taloncarson4107]

As someone who was also there I can say Knocked Loose was hands down the most intense set I’ve ever been to

[@R0ADK1LLVODS]

Honestly something that I love about hardcore, as opposed to metalcore or deathcore, is that I feel almost every vocalist in the scene has a unique identifiable voice

[@loganpeters7543]

LOVE the sound of his voice.

[@tickandslug]

Yeah, Finn's voice is pretty nice

[@Arcvde]

Me too. Reminds me of throwbacks to The Warriors and I’ve been hooked since hearing Billy No Mates

[@KM-iv9xy]

Definitely an acquired taste but when it grows on you it's awesome. It's not tough guy stuff like Throwdown or Kublai Khan. He sounds like an abused child or something, it works for the image they portray- vulnerable AND angry

[@loganpeters7543]

@@KM-iv9xy that makes sense. I actually discovered them and IMMEDIATELY loved it more than any other hardcore sound I had heard. I suppose I am one of the weirdos who love the sound of something potentially out of place.

[@bluetoothpasteman5022]

​@KM-iv9xy I love angry vocals, and Bryan has this insane energy and aggression nobody else I've heard can replicate. But I disagree about Matt Honeycutt though, he has a different style of scream but he also just sounds pissed off at everyone and everything. Too many singers fall into the technique over emotion trap, and it is especially easy with low screams and growls, but some manage to preserve the emotion, like Travis from Varials (shame he left, but the new vocalist sounds just as angry)

[@wucebrayne7565]

They keep getting better as they release, I wouldn’t mind seeing a hardcore band with a huge following take a more atmospheric approach.

[@cadem.2393]

Not sure exactly why you mean by atmospheric but you should check out Loathe. They are like a hybrid of deftones and hardcore sound. A song to check out is called “New Faces In the Dark” or if you want something heavier check out “Heavy Is the Head that Falls with the Weight of a Thousand Thoughts”

[@RibeiroGames12]

Knocked Loose have the self-awareness that a lot of hardcore and metalcore bands don’t and I think that contributes to their authenticity and popularity a lot. Mix in Bryan’s unique voice and the band’s unapologetic attitude and you have lightning in a bottle 🔥

[@Nickradphoto]

I thought the exact same thing when you referenced Turnstile's cinematography. This felt like a cross between "Turnstile Love Connection" and the A24 feel of Midsommar, Men, etc. The straw masks might be a nod to another dark film called "Kill List." Highly recommend.

[@Brax_beck]

His voice has definitely gotten higher pitch as they’ve grown older

[@dallascowboysz123]

They filmed the video at Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois! Such a great place to visit

[@monkreeder]

Funny enough… I went to U of Illinois for my doctorate and seeing Allerton (the library in particular where I’ve played more than a few cocktail hours) is what first got me to listen to Knocked Loose. What a rabbit hole it has been! The new album is just absolute apeshit

[@RobbCorp]

I love the sound of the hardcore anger mixed with the converge like chaos. It's not as exhausting as other HC that is just pure adrenaline hate edit: Among the Hedges is a great band name

[@TheCivildecay]

Brian is a big horror movie and game fan (there are 2 P.T. soundclips in their songs)

I Loooveee Knocked Loose and I respect them for not changing their sound even after being at Coachella

[@adammccarty]

I wish they were around during the “appalcore” (Appalachian core) scene in the early 2000s in central/eastern Ky. Would have been cool to see them in school gym or abandoned furniture store.

[@LasTortugasAzules]

Totally agree with what you said about metalcore. The formula is heavy verse, radio rock chorus, basic breakdown. The cleans are all going for either the butt rock vocal sound, or the high pitched poppy sound. There's just no deviation from that formula and the genre has fallen off hard. Then most of the bands that are trying to take metalcore and make it "proggy" are all trying to do the exact same form of "progressive." it's all just so stale

[@RibeiroGames12]

I disagree honestly. That's definitely a close-minded perspective about the progressive-metalcore genre right now. Currents, Northlane, Loathe, Volumes, After the Burial, Erra, Void of Vision, Invent animte and Alpha wolf deliver the same concept but totally different and innovative forms of their style of metalcore. If you're referring to bands like new Architects, Sleep Token or new Spiritbox I barely think they make core music at all. Just prog metal bands

[@LasTortugasAzules]

@@RibeiroGames12 almost all of those bands that I've heard have a very similar take on metalcore and imo it's just not interesting music. I love Alphawolf but I wouldn't consider them progressive metalcore at all

[@charizardmaster13]

@@LasTortugasAzules nah seriously they do have different sounds. its literally the same with any other sub genre you can't have all the bands sounding radically different or its not that genre anymore, so most bands offer variations on a similar them thats literally how sub genres kinda work. and this is for any sub genre you can think of, deathhore, thrash, pop punk, hardcore etc. they all have shit tonnes of copycat bands and then a few flagship ones that bring their own small spin on the formula of the genre

[@RibeiroGames12]

@@LasTortugasAzules I disagree tbh. Currents have been experimenting a lot with deathcore elements, Void of Vision and Northlane brings a lot of industrial/dance/nü music to the table. And loathe definitely delivers a more deftones and chaotic sound into the genre. Erra and Invent Animate are very ambient as well. And I agree about your take on alpha wolf, they sound more similar to traditional metalcore like knocked Loose and varials, but they typically interact way more with the bands that I've mentioned

[@LasTortugasAzules]

@@charizardmaster13 of course every genre has basic, generic bands. That doesn't mean some aren't worse than others. If I pick a random deathcore song right now, I could end up with something symphonic, a beatdown band, blackened deathcore, a more groove based band, thall, or a half dozen other sounds. If I pick a metalcore song at random, the odds of hearing something totally formulaic are way higher I'll never give up on metalcore, because I've been listening to it since back when people just called it "metallic hardcore." I'm not writing it off forever, and yeah, of course there are still bands doing cool stuff. But I don't think it's even debatable that the metalcore genre is going through a mediocre phase right now

I’ve been into metal since it came into existence this is the best band I’ve heard in years I love them chills have returned I thought metal had nothing new to offer

Knocked Loose is one of my favorite bands. They are amazing live also. If they ever go butt rock then that will be a very very sad day 😂 but I truly believe that they could break out into the main stream while still sounding like this. I believe they are that good.

[@jordanjoestar8839]

If we could have a feature on one of their tracks with Darius from SPITE, they could both arf together.

[@hunterdelaneycomics]

Isaac's major vocal influence is the Sand Tiger from the 90's animated classic " Aladdin'" - insert "who disturbs my slumber" in any KL song and you can really hear it.

[@Dwheel_91]

I think like Code Orange, Knocked Loose will get pretty well noted for their uniqueness and capable of similar surprising feats. Hard core is in Coachella and the Grammys

[@SynysterEskimo]

I first saw them live with Beartooth 5 years back and had not heard of Knocked Loose before. I was shocked when they came on with Bryan’s voice and my friend and I did not like it at all. But when “Different Shade of Blue” came out I decided to give them another chance, and once I had gotten used to Bryan’s voice I fell in love with them. Now I consider Bryan to be one of the best screamers in current music and I love all of their stuff. They continue to come out with amazing music and I’m always excited for them to put out more music.

[@TristanB93]

Your description on Bryan’s vocals was fantastic man. I was totally the same, took a while to grow on me and made me appreciate it all the more.

I was talking to my friend about it the other day, after this dropped, and I said l, knocked loose is one of the few modern bands that have always kept true to their sound, even with all the clout, they just stay true to it, but with every release they get better and better each time.

[@bluetoothpasteman5022]

They've managed to develop their sound in a way that stays true to their original sound, while somehow getting more 'Knocked Loose-y' with every release, which is a line very few bands ever manage to ride for more than one or two albums

[@gaijinguineapig]

Just wanna say I agree with your assessment on, 'Midsommar.' Love ya Finn!

Knocked Loose are one of the few bands ive been generally impressed with in recent years and saw them twice last year in Leeds and then at Outbreak Fest in Manchester. Hoping to get a ticket for them playing the dome in London in august, which is a 600 cap venue. And the thing mentioned in this video is they have adapted to many different festivals as in August alone there playing Bloodstock which is mainly metal, and then Leeds and Reading fest which are now more mainstream rock and indie.
