Knocked Loose

Knocked Loose land at The Academy, Dublin, on June 23, 2026, with a set built on sharp turns, weighty breakdowns and a vocal bark that never lets up. Born near Louisville, Kentucky, the band carved its place between hardcore, metalcore and beatdown, stacking dissonant riffs against sudden drops and tight rhythmic cuts. Bryan Garris drives the front line while guitarist Isaac Hale anchors the writing, a pairing that pushed the group from the raw immediacy of the Pop Culture EP in 2014 to the wider reach of Laugh Tracks in 2016. A Different Shade of Blue (2019) darkened the palette, and the narrative EP A Tear in the Fabric of Life (2021) stitched their ideas into a single arc. In 2024, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To refined the blend again, folding in flashes of melody without softening the impact. On stage, the songs breathe through abrupt pace shifts, gang vocals and jagged grooves, leaning into themes of inner conflict, fractured ties and everyday pressure. Expect a focused set that moves fast and hits hard, tailored for a room like The Academy.
