Knock Off

Active since 2013, Knock Off sits in the tradition of British street punk with a direct, fast and abrasive sound, nourished by the heritage of the UK scene from the early 1980s. The band, based in the United Kingdom and formed as a trio, develops a repertoire centered on social anger, disenchantment, everyday life and football culture, with writing that also leaves room for dry humor. Knock Off channels this aesthetic between old school punk, oi! and street punk, prioritizing short songs, immediate choruses and a constant tension over polished production. Present on the independent punk scene through DIY circuits, Knock Off has built its trajectory through gigs and self-released records, in a continuity faithful to its references without limiting itself to nostalgic re-reading. The identity of Knock Off rests on this combination of melodic roughness, compact energy and a frontal look at the era, with music thought for the stage as much as for recording.
