Knives

After building their sound in their shared house in Bristol, Knives have taken a noisy leap into the UK alternative circuit. They have thrived playing shows alongside flagship punk bands such as Mclusky, CLT DRP, Tokyo Horror, LIFE and Enola Gay. The band invites you to embrace the fury with their explosive EP What We See In Their Eyes (2024). From addressing the ongoing challenge of homophobia and queerbaiting within the music industry, to delving into the core of punk and its accompanying hypocrisy, Knives urges listeners to join them in confronting those they oppose. Fueled by powerful basslines, gritty riffing, and vocalist Jay Schottlander’s unique, venomous shouts reminiscent of a punk town crier, their EP amalgamates elements of post-punk, hardcore, rap and noise into an electrifying blend that sparks most-pit inducing euphoria.
