ALBUM\nREVIEW: Knife Club \u2013 We Are Knife Club (TNS Records)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

After months of online teasing, it was recently revealed that Knife Club, a new name on the DIY punk scene, are a ‘supergroup’ consisting of members of various bands from Manchester-based indie punk label TNS Records<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nline-up features Zo\u00eb Barrow (Casual Nausea) and Andy Davies (Revenge\nOf The Psychotronic Man\/TNSrecords) on vocals, Eliott Verity\n(Nosebleed) on guitar\/vocals, Dan Flanagan (Haest\/Matilda\u2019s\nScoundrels) on guitar, Dani Rascal (Faintest Idea) on bass\/vocals and\nChris \u2018Big Hands\u2019 Hinsley (Revenge of\u2026) on drums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formed\nafter a drunken night in Hastings, the band built interest in a\nsecretive fashion while booking gigs at Rebellion, Manchester Punk\nFestival and Wotsit Called Fest, alongside a series of club gigs in\nthe UK and Denmark. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\nhave been negotiating a North\/South divide, the logistical nightmare\nof travelling hundreds of miles for band practices, and justifying\nwhy they are together at random gigs in random places at random\ntimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly,\nmany of Knife Club’s planned gigs have been cancelled due to the\ncoronavirus pandemic, so for now we’ll have to make do with this 22\nminutes of furious noise. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nwas recorded and produced by Ben Hannah from Nosebleed in January\n2020 – only the second time the whole band had been in the same\nroom.
There are moments of hardcore punk aggression, a garage edge\nto the guitar sound and lots of melody and addictive sing-a-long\nchoruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s\na thoroughly enjoyable slice of punk rock noise from the off, and I’d\nguess Davies has a big say in the lyrics and song titles, as many\nremind me a lot of his old band, who split up in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s\nnot (always) quite as frenetic as Revenge, which means you can make\nout most of the words, which is always a bonus, but song titles like\nThe Tibby Tan Tiger and I Mean, I’d Probably Take An Adidas\nEndorsement are a bit of a giveaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davies\nand Barrow share vocals, and it works well, particularly on the likes\nof Working Class Tories, ‘Adidas’, where they insist, tongue in\ncheek, \u201cDIY is full of shit\u201d, and Do You Want A Knife With That\nSalad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only one of the 12 songs breaches the two-and-a-half-minute mark, which gives you an idea of the blistering pace of the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standout moments? Difficult, because there’s not a bad song here, but I love Artex, where the co-vocalists show real venom as they sing \u201cI”ve got an itchy brain, it’s driving me insane, it’s not just that I can’t think, I’m lost in the ceiling”. Great stuff. 8\/10.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Are Knife Club is available on CD and as a limited run of 300 red vinyl LPs.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
