There’s no band quite like Knocked Loose, the Louisville metalcore mutants who blew up with a supremely heavy and abrasive style. As they’ve progressed, Knocked Loose have only become heavier and more abrasive, and their audience has only grown. That whole time, the band’s members have stayed connected to the hardcore underground, playing in side projects like Inclination and xWeaponx. Knocked Loose released their long-awaited album You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To a few months ago, and they’re currently playing arenas with Slipknot. (They played Madison Square Garden last night, which must’ve been cool.) Now, they’re announcing what promises to be a huge, vital headlining tour.

Earlier this year, Knocked Loose went out on a headliner tour with Show Me The Body, Loathe, and Speed. When they head back out this fall, they’ll play bigger venues, and they’ll do it with a crew of openers that’s just as lovingly curated. The Garden, the hyper-punk LA duo, have the main-support slot, while Bay Area hardcore standard-bearers Drain and core-adjacent alt-rock champions Militarie Gun are also on board. Along the way, Knocked Loose will also play a Las Vegas anniversary show for Pure Noise, their label.

I can’t speak to the Garden’s live show, but any of those other bands are worth seeing just by themselves. Check out Knocked Loose’s touring itinerary below.
