Knocked Loose

Knocked Loose bring their Kentucky-bred hardcore to Electric Bristol on 29 June 2026. Formed in the early 2010s in Oldham County, near Louisville, the band fuses hardcore, metalcore and beatdown with abrupt tempo shifts, dissonant riffs and Bryan Garris’s cutting scream. With guitarist Isaac Hale central to the writing, they broke through from the Pop Culture EP to their debut Laugh Tracks, then pushed into a darker, denser sound on A Different Shade of Blue. The narrative EP A Tear in the Fabric of Life tightened their storytelling, while the 2024 album You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To deepened the balance between blunt force and melodic tension, with lyrics circling inner conflict, broken ties and everyday pressure.

Onstage, Knocked Loose compress that energy into sharp, physical performances where the stop-start grooves, breakdowns and feedback-laced drones keep the floor in motion. Expect a set that draws across their catalogue, with newer tracks locking in alongside early cuts, and special guests setting the room before the Kentucky crew take over Bristol.
