Knifes announce debut EP ‘Proof of Concept’
KNIFES have announced their debut EP!
Titled Proof of Concept, the upcoming EP from the emerging rock trio is their debut studio outing and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via self-release.
The genesis of the band formed when guitarist Ben Young stepped in as the lead guitar player for LINKIN PARK for two shows, after the band’s guitarist Brad Delson, who Young teched for, got sick. After these shows, playing a magnitude of iconic songs in massive stadiums, Young began writing songs himself. He then teamed with Warren Johnson – another LINKIN PARK roadie – on drums, and the two started jamming and formed KNIFES.
After Chester Bennington‘s passing, Young and Johnson started working for FALL OUT BOY, and had Brian Diaz join on bass. Brian is Pete Wentz‘s long-time bass tech; collectively the three members of the band have worked for some of the biggest artists globally including GUNS ‘N ROSES, SLIPKNOT, DEFTONES, BLACK EYED PEAS, and PHARRELL WILLIAMS.
Alongside the announcement of the debut EP, the band have released the first song from the upcoming release; The Comedown.
