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.
