Knocked Loose

Knocked Loose hit Rock City in Nottingham on 30 June 2026. Formed in the early 2010s near Louisville, Kentucky, the band carved a tense line between hardcore, metalcore and beatdown: sudden tempo cuts, dissonant riffs and Bryan Garris’s abrasive bark, with guitarist and songwriter Isaac Hale steering much of the writing. They broke out from the Pop Culture EP to Laugh Tracks (2016), which pushed them across US and European stages, then tightened the screws on A Different Shade of Blue (2019) and the narrative EP A Tear in the Fabric of Life (2021). In 2024, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To pushed their mix further, threading shards of melody through heavier, darker structures. The lyrics stay close to inner conflict and strained relationships, giving weight to every drop and restart. On stage, Knocked Loose move in short, direct bursts, stacking tension and release without ornament. A set built for impact, with recent cuts locking in alongside early staples, ready to shake Rock City.
