Knocked Loose have shared the new video for You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To tracks “Moss Covers All” and “Take Me Home” today. Directed and edited by Eric Richter alongside Knocked Loose’s vocalist Bryan Garris, the new video is a twisted, black and white visual filmed in the band’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. The video arrives on the heels of the recent announcement that Danny Brown will be a special guest on select west coast dates of their forthcoming headline North American tour (their second of 2024), which kicks off this October with support The Garden, DRAIN, and Militarie Gun on select dates. Currently, Knocked Loose is on the second leg of their tour supporting Slipknot. This Friday, Knocked Loose will be hosting a merch pop up in Los Angeles ahead of their performances with Slipknot at 2520 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90026 from 12pm to 3pm where the new music video will be screened and exclusive merch will be available for purchase.
Speaking about the new video, Garris shares, “I’ve had the idea for these two videos since before the album was announced. They didn’t make the cut as the original singles, but I knew eventually I wanted to bring this idea to life. I knew I wanted to do it with Eric Richter. A one take / no cuts or edits video is something I’ve always wanted to do. A lot of moving parts and hard working extras on and off camera to make this work. I’m so happy with it.”
The forthcoming Knocked Loose headline tour is produced by Live Nation and will see the band perform at amphitheaters and ballrooms across the country as a victory lap celebrating their emergence as America’s preeminent heavy band. Additionally, Knocked Loose will be performing at the Pure Noise Records 15th anniversary show in Las Vegas alongside Spanish Love Songs and SeeYouSpaceCowboy.
The band, who are on the current cover of UK magazine CRACK has seen great praise for album You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To by the likes of GQ, Forbes, The Guardian, Metal Hammer, FLOOD and Pitchfork, who stated in their 8.0 review that Knocked Loose has “amplified and concentrated their sound into something so potent that it has its own gravitational pull.” The album was produced by Drew Fulk (Disturbed, Lil Peep, Motionless In White) and includes the singles “Suffocate (feat. Poppy),” “Blinding Faith” and “Don’t Reach For Me.” Following the album’s release, Knocked Loose went on a nationwide, sold out tour with Show Me The Body, Speed and Loathe opening. That tour, which saw the band perform in the biggest rooms of their career to date, paired with the band’s Coachella set marked the opening of a new chapter of a band that has steadily built its fanbase over the past decade.
Emerging in 2014 with their debut EP Pop Culture, the Kentucky quintet has been sharpening the blade of their earnest songwriting and skull-melting musicality over the course of the last 10 years. In 2016, Knocked Loose released their debut album Laugh Tracks, which features the track “Counting Worms” and in 2019 they released their sophomore album A Different Shade of Blue, which saw the band continue to lean toward heavier and more challenging sonics. Knocked Loose is vocalist Bryan Garris, guitarist Isaac Hale and Nicko Calderon, bassist Kevin Otten and drummer Kevin “Pacsun” Kaine.
