Summary:
In a plot reminiscent of a coming-of-age film, Bristol’s band KNIVES formed by Erin Cook and Jay Schottlander embodies youthful rebellion and sound experimentation. Their debut album, GLITTER, blends post-punk, noise rock, and jazz, tackling serious themes like Islamophobia and social inequality. Following a sold-out show at Thekla, the band reflects on their chaotic yet vibrant dynamics and commitment to inclusivity. As their summer tour approaches, they balance life and music, ready to confront the world’s injustices through their sound.
Thought-Provoking Statement:
As KNIVES harnesses their platform to voice societal issues, how can emerging artists effectively create a space for marginalized voices while maintaining authenticity in their music?
