Knock For Six’s latest single is a high-octane punk rock single that exudes with the kind of explosive energy that grips the senses and keeps you hooked for every detail. ‘I’m Better Without You’ is loud and fast, melodic, and wholly rocking.
A post-hardcore 4-piece outfit based in Toledo, Ohio, Knock For Six have a sound that is technically proficient and melodically present. On their latest single ‘I’m Better Without You’, the band are marking a milestone in their songwriting effort, as it is a single that has been written collaboratively by the 4 members of the group. A song about double standards in expecting things from people that one never does, ‘I’m Better Without You’ is loaded with angst and energy that is totally infectious.
Written about a toxic ex-girlfriend who expected the world and gave nothing in front, Knock For Six have been able to channel the draining energy into something quite powerful and with a felt impact. The crunchy, overdriven rhythm guitars and hot-headed pace and breakneck drum fills, alongside the wailed vocal belts all create a soundscape that is very empowering. Melodic too.
‘I’m Better Without You’ is a brash and loud anthem for everyone who has ever had to deal with a draining and unfulfilled relationship. It is also a capable punk rock anthem that it tightly produced and written and performed.
