Knocked Loose announce new album ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’

KNOCKED LOOSE have announced a new album!

Titled You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, the upcoming album from the Kentucky-based hardcore band is the follow-up to 2019’s A Different Shade Of Blue (and 2021’s A Tear In The Fabric Of Life EP), and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Pure Noise Records.

You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To is filled with boundary-pushing textures and samples the band has collected over the years. On Suffocate, vocalist Bryan Garris teams up with pop-meets-metal artist POPPY, samples of what sounds like meditative singing bowls open the album to Take Me Home, with its spoken-word intro, ear-catching auxiliary percussion and brief yet evocative concluding country-song snippet. Elements like these only make the breakneck blur of a track like Moss Covers All, a song that Garris says deals with his ever-present longing for the comfort of home, feel that much more urgent.

“On this album, we go the fastest we’ve ever gone; we go the scariest we’ve ever gone. We also go the catchiest and the most melodic that we’ve ever gone, and that’s the point,” guitarist Isaac Hale says. “Instead of branching off into a specific direction, we want to encompass ALL directions.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, KNOCKED LOOSE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Blinding Faith. Speaking about the new song, Hale says, “it was just hilarious how many people showed up to church that I knew were rude, horrible, selfish people. They knew that it made them seem like a better person — or if they said the words, it would redeem them of any negative quality just because they showed face.”
