Following their raging sophomore LP, A Different Shade of Blue, with the current tour’s namesake EP A Tear in the Fabric of Life – a conceptual work exploring the bitterness of loss and grief – Knocked Loose presents their version of Midwest emo with guttural screams and chaotic breakdowns. Influenced by the sweet stylings in death metal, the Kentucky quintet extends the boundaries of hardcore, pushing the line to its very thinnest with abrasive riffs and grinding melodies. Accompanied by scene vets Movements, Texas’ own Kublai Khan, and punk newcomers Koyo, Emo’s is set for hours of headbanging and insane pits.
