LP Reissue on Red Splatter Vinyl

As Knocked Loose chipped away at their third album, they felt the pressure from all sides. Internally, there was the need to challenge themselves as songwriters while retaining the merciless intensity and unflinching honesty that have always been their calling cards. Externally, there was a whole new set of eyes on the hard-touring Louisville quintet, following a banner year in which they’d brought their underground-seasoned sound to some of the world’s biggest stages, finding themselves the unlikely viral darlings of both Coachella and Bonnaroo. The creative process was arduous, with the band writing close to 40 songs across a span of four years before locking in the 10 tracks that make up You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To. But in the end, vocalist Bryan Garris, guitarists Isaac Hale and Nicko Calderon, bassist Kevin Otten, and drummer Kevin “Pac Sun” Kaine honed a diverse, cohesive, and savagely intense album that both sums up the massive strides they’ve taken during their decade as a band, and asserts their boundless potential going forward.

These songs find them plumbing new depths of loathing — directed both inward and outward — and tortuous anguish. Musically, they’re leaning into their most extreme impulses, blastbeat-driven fury, chaotic turbulence, and seismic breakdowns, while seasoning the mix with ear-catching auxiliary percussion, evocative samples, and shout-along hooks — all interwoven to perfection by Grammy-nominated, pop-savvy producer Drew “WZRD BLD” Fulk.
