Knocked Loose at Webster Hall

A group of friends in Oldham County, Kentucky, formed a hardcore punk band around 2011. The band had several names, including Speaker and Manipulator, before settling on Knocked Loose in 2013. An EP, Pop Culture, in 2014 secured Knocked Loose an opening slot on several tours, and the debut album, Laugh Tracks, in 2016 turned the band into a headliner. Knocked Loose released its second album, A Different Shade of Blue, on August 23, 2019. Knocked Loose consists of vocalist Bryan Garris, lead guitarist Isaac Hale, rhythm Guitarist Cole Crutchfield, bassist Kevin Otten, and drummer Kevin Kaine.

Bryan Garris told the audience tonight at Webster Hall that Knocked Loose was performing in the venue for the third time. The band worked its way from the now-renovated venue’s former small basement Studio, then the mid-sized Marlin Room, and now they headlined the large, upstairs Grand Ballroom. The band was more brutal than ever, at this point evolving into screamo and metalcore more than clinging to its original hardcore sound. Garris often provided death-metal growls and high-pitched vocals to the band's dissonant chords, deep bass lines, blast beats, and breakdowns. The set included 10 of the 12 songs from the new album, demonstrating the band's commitment to its maturing sound. Harsh, heavy and quite extreme, Knocked Loose was as intense as a heart attack
