Kentucky hardcore giants Knocked Loose have dropped the massive dual single Upon Loss.
Featuring Deep In The Willow and Everything Is Quiet Now the dual single arrives accompanied by a video directed by Eric Richter and Knocked Loose frontman Bryan Garris.
Speaking on the Upon Loss release, Garris shares “Deep in the Willow and Everything is Quiet Now are a reminder that we are heavy, intense, and extreme,” Garris tells. “Some elements come and go, but those will never change. After A Tear in the Fabric of Life, we were inspired to see how much art we could incorporate moving forward - which led us to a style of video we’ve never attempted or approached. Taking myself specifically far outside of my comfort zone and pushing the boundaries on how I’ve been seen in the past was a creative experience I will never forget. This video wouldn’t be what it is without the collaboration with Eric Richter, someone we’ve admired for a while. And the songs wouldn’t be what they are without [producer] Drew Fulk, a new friend and creative ear in the entire process.”
The Upon Loss singles are available to stream now thanks to Pure Noise Records. A limited-edition 10" vinyl will be produced, with orders being taken now here.
One of the most beloved and celebrated bands in modern heavy music, Knocked Loose have torn a path through the underground over the last decade, unleashing two full-length albums (Laugh Tracks, A Different Shade Of Blue) and three EPs (Pop Culture, Mistakes Like Fractures, A Tear in the Fabric of Life) that have found favour with fans and critics alike. The arrival of the Upon Loss dual single marks the next phase in the continued sonic evolution of the band who are fresh off having wowed audiences at Knotfest Australia and Coachella.
They stunned Coachella goers with their unforgettable performance which claimed the biggest circle pit in the festival’s history. They continue to hit the major US festival circuit this year and are set to play Bonnaroo this Friday and Lollapalooza come August.
When we were offered the chance to catch up with Knocked Loose prior to their visit down under for Knotfest Australia, we decided to ask them to to curate a playlist of the harshest and heaviest songs they love and why. Head over here to read the songs that'll knock you loose.
