A mix of horror punk and melodic hardcore, full of pulsating basslines and abrasive riffs
Knives was formed in a shared house in Bristol, where their uncompromising sound was forged. What started as a small experiment has now grown into a staple of the British alternative scene. With performances at festivals such as 2000 Trees, Left of the Dial, and Forwards Fest, as well as shows with acts like CLT DRP, Maruja, and Wargasm, Knives is known for their intense live experiences. Their debut album Glitter challenges fans with a fresh take on punk, featuring powerful basslines and abrasive riffs. Frontwoman Jay Schottlander is joined by saxophonist Izzi Allard, guitarists Dan Farren and Josh Cook, bassist Ben Marshall, and drummer Erin Cook. The result? A band that not only pushes the boundaries of the genre but also calls on their audience to unite in the fight against today’s obstacles.
