Hailing from Kentucky, Knocked Loose erupted onto the global stage like an unstoppable hurricane, single-handedly rewriting the rules of how far modern hardcore and metalcore can push into the mainstream without sacrificing an ounce of pure brutality. The outfit has built an unprecedented reputation, packing out arenas and headlining major festivals worldwide while delivering some of the darkest, most punishing heavy music on the planet.

Landmark releases like Laugh Tracks (2016) and A Different Shade of Blue (2019) set the foundation for their ruthless identity, which was pushed to artistic extremes on A Tear in the Fabric of Life (2021) and the acclaimed album You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To (2024). Iconic tracks like Counting Worms with its legendary bark, Deep in the Willow, Mistakes Like Fractures, and the Poppy-assisted Suffocate showcase their uncanny knack for fusing punishing beatdown grooves, sharp dual-guitar riffing from Isaac Hale and Nicko Calderon, and the unhinged, piercing shrieks of frontman Bryan Garris. Their signature relies on pristine production, jarring time shifts, and breakdowns that hit with the force of a natural disaster.

A Knocked Loose live show is a masterclass in controlled chaos and relentless physical energy. Endless stage dives, massive pits, and a suffocating wall of sound guarantee an immersive experience from start to finish. When their low-frequency attack echoes against the historic fortress walls, expect a true structural endurance test.
