Knocked Loose

Knocked Loose bring their hard-edged blend of hardcore, metalcore and beatdown to Limelight, Belfast on 22 June 2026. Formed in the early 2010s in Oldham County, near Louisville, Kentucky, the band built its identity on jagged rhythm shifts, dissonant riffs and Bryan Garris’s barked delivery, with guitarist Isaac Hale central to the songwriting. After the Pop Culture EP (2014), they signed to Pure Noise and broke through with Laugh Tracks (2016), which put them on hardcore and metal stages across North America and Europe. The sound tightened and darkened on A Different Shade of Blue (2019), then turned narrative with the EP A Tear in the Fabric of Life (2021). In 2024, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To pushed the mix further, balancing blunt force with tense melodic lines, while lyrics stayed anchored in inner conflict, fractured ties and day-to-day pessimism. On stage, the material lands with abrupt drops, surging breakdowns and a collective swing. The set threads newer tracks back to early cuts, delivered at close range.
