Knocked Loose have revealed new single “Trapped In The Grasp Of A Memory”, taken from the band’s highly anticipated new album, A Different Shade of Blue, out this August via Pure Noise Records. A Different Shade of Blue, the band’s mammoth of a sophomore effort and huge step forward for hardcore and metal as it’s known today, has seen the band already take flight via both major support tours with A Day To Remember and Every Time I Die, while also headlining their own sold-out shows across the USA – and beyond.
Forged on musical bonds built at an early age, Knocked Loose came together in the small yet relatively formidable hardcore and punk scene of the greater Louisville, Kentucky area. Though the scene was relatively strong, a lack of available bands, touring parties and scarcity of gigs forced diversity – mixing genres and challenging young ears with new ideas, approaches and styles. That diversity created the basis of Knocked Loose musically and the genesis for their approach, an amalgam of heavy influences that never commits to any singular style but maintains a loyalty to the hardcore tradition.
Clocking in at a lean and mean 37 minutes and featuring guest vocals from Emma Boster of Dying Wishand Keith Buckley of Every Time I Die, A Different Shade of Blue grabs the listener by the throat from the jump and slowly tightening that grip for the duration. Knocked Loose hit the road this autumn on an extensive North American tour with Rotting Out, Candy and SeeYouSpaceCowboy. See below for all dates.
