Knocked Loose's Louisville: A HardLore Film

Directed by Sean Say.
March, 2023: a special time for a special place in the heartland of the USA... The weekend marked the 10 year anniversary of the monster that is KNOCKED LOOSE. Before culminating at LDB Fest, Colin and Bo took a special journey with none other than Knocked Loose frontman Bryan Garris.
Join the trio as they chronologically detail the early days of Knocked Loose and show the key locations from the band's history, as well as share personal tall tales and potentially supernatural history surrounding Louisville's preeminent hardcore band.

[@tonytackett1905]

After hearing the Master's Degree story, hearing Bryan's confidence drown out while telling the "Tom Cruise went to prom with..." story was hilarious.

[@dclikemtndew]

Hearing Bryan say "Louisville" brings me great joy

Bo watching Bryan order for them is a thing of beauty

This was one of the coolest episodes. Like this style a bunch, should visit peoples home towns more often and just go out to eat

[@sal.vulcano]

AGREED

[@bengreenbank]

Colin is normally the chattiest guy in hardcore but when that heart attack on a plate got brought out guy was full focus demolishing that shit

[@fosterk91]

The zero hesitation by Bo naming “I wanna dance with somebody” by Whitney as the best pop song of all time was great and Bryan and Colin agreeing and discussing it killed me 😄

The boys are heading to Flavortown on this roadtrip. It's all right here on diners, drive ins, and hardlore.

I am 25:08 minutes in and I have never been so...hypnotized by 3 dudes talking at a restaurant! Haha great job fellas. I'm looking forward to the rest of the episode. P.s. 3 very handsome dudes

[@dominicdimas9188]

Instant classic

[@the_real_tay_loud2072]

When I heard them mention it a while back I was pumped but then I forgot about it and then boom it drops outa nowhere! What a pleasant surprise, some might say a sweet treat as good as a warm slice of apple pie…

[@DwayneCreates]

Never made the connection until now. Bryan is like the hardcore version of Mr Beast. His speaking voice is unlike his performing voice. What a bunch of chill dudes. Love Bryan.

Bryans attention to the crowd is amazing. no matter the crowd he gives it 1000% and guides them through the show in such a way that even if you absolutely hated hardcore you would still appreciate this man's and band's dedication to just doing a great job at doing what they love and consistently improving with every release.

[@threetoes499]

100% I don't hate hardcore, but it isn't my favorite. Knocked Loose is the first and only hardcore band who's set I will always attend at any festival! I so love the energy! Not just theirs, but their fans too. And it makes me giddy every time ;}

[@mmmmmmmmdaaaamnnnnbabyyyy]

I watched this one live performance by them and there was this dude in the front row belting his face off to every song, at one point Bryan grabbed the back of his head and they just screamed in each other's faces with the mic between them for a few seconds. If that was me that would've made my decade lmao

[@KevinCorkran]

"the song ends with a breakdown just like every Knocked Loose song" *spooky sound* LOL

[@carl3038]

That segment is a masterclass in editing. The close ups and spooky sounds we're killing me the whole time

[@katherinej51679]

I didn’t even like modern metal or metal core or break downs or hardcore until I saw i Knocked Loose on that Gojira tour! Since then, it’s been a major bonding experience for my 18 year old son and myself. Thanks for that❤️❤️❤️

[@bbboop2568]

I love that you can enjoy their music with your son! Goals!

[@TheEpicLinkFreeman]

I feel like my mom was the same way. She likes the classics in metal, and a lot of modern metal bands like Five Finger Death Punch (early), In This Moment(early), stuff like that, and she's big into punk rock, but never really seemed too much into the core stuff I was listening to. She tolerated it but wasn't really into it until I got her listening to Knocked Loose somehow and she loved it. Then she started hearing more bands on SXM Liquid Metal and one of her new favorites is Slaughter to Prevail, a deathcore band. I was dumbfounded when she said she loves "this song" I was just like "huh? where did that come from?" She loves Bodysnatcher now, and came with me 2.5 hours to see Tallah and ended up buying a shirt of their opener Enox. Similar story with my dad, although he was always pretty into it from the start. Didn't seem to love it, but it was a kind of "yea this is pretty cool" attitude.

[@MarinatedChair]

By far the best hardlore episode

[@brinepacer]

I love that this video is quickly becoming the biggest episode of Hardlore.

[@DrTabarnak]

[@withafrown]

I remember finding Laugh Tracks at a bargain bin for a dollar a couple of months after it was released, bought it and listened to it and immediately fell in love! So crazy to see how big they've gotten!

[@EVRNDR]

This is an incredible look at both Bryan as a person and how Knocked Loose got to where they are today - beautifully done! Side note because I thought it was funny, halfway through the scary story video, I somehow convinced myself that Bryan was Ally Beardsley and that got a good chuckle. I'm unbelievably high so that might be a part of it.

[@MoshpitTV]

I met Bryan a couple times years ago and he seems tonhave changed so much. When i talked to him he used to have alot of turrets ticks. Hes seems so much more relaxed lately.

[@jamespalmore4103]

That In The Walls story is so sick! P.T. is hands down the scariest game and that was just a demo pretty much! That audio clip definitely fits the guitar part so well!

[@babykrampus]

the vibes are immaculate 😌🫶🏼

[@dylanreeves7320]

The hard cut of Bo and Colin sitting on the floor for story time makes me piss myself everytime

[@wavvyfox1655]

I live in Louisville and I really appreciate how much the KL members care for the city, I have hung around Kevin at the bar he co-owns many times and he's probably the most genuine guy in music I've ever met, we always trade music recommendations. I see him and Isaac at hardcore shows all the time and I think the city really owes them for helping it grow as its getting bigger at a rapid rate. I believe I've seen all my favorite modern bands at least once in the past year here haha

[@SM-cg5ny]

What is the name of that bar?

[@beeftitan38]

I see what Bryan was saying about catering to a crowd. I’ve seen them tons of times at smaller venues around Cleveland. But recently I saw them at Adjacent Fest and it was almost a completely different band. More crowd work and not the performance that I’m use to.

[@killaphila666]

Yeah man they really got that whole crowd into them at Adjacent. I've seen them in Philly, Camden, and Lancaster 5x before that set with the Camden NJ date being a massive venue/crowd as well and they definitely know how to adapt very well to the type of crowds they're playing for. Turnstile is similar in that sense. No surprise they're probably the two biggest bands related to hc right now

[@idkhowtospell]

thats amazing that colin shouted out the chestnut house. thts some actual deep lore
