Knuckle Puck, have released powerful new track On All Cylinders, their first new song following the release of 2023’s album Losing What We Love.
Over the last thirteen years, the band have nurtured their craft across three albums and have artfully balanced their emotional spectrum, trading in high-tempered and deeply introspective lyricism, but also cutting the tension with an underlying layer of optimism.
But now, with the release of their latest LP, Losing What We Love, Knuckle Puck are done sugarcoating life’s hard truths. It is a record about coming to terms with exactly that. It is an attempt to lean into the transition from a high point in life to a low point. These songs are a tribute to the familiar while acknowledging that nothing can stay the same forever.
Recorded with longtime producer Seth Henderson (State Champs, Real Friends), Losing What We Love follows 2022’s Disposable Life EP and marks the band’s first LP for Pure Noise Records. In many ways, it’s a throwback to their earliest days – not necessarily in sound, but in songwriting essence, tapping into the same collaborative magic they found in bedrooms and garages across Chicago’s south suburbs as teenagers.
It’s clear there’s a newfound energy inside their ranks, a steadfast belief in one another that steered the ship during Losing What We Love and will carry the band long into the future.
In many ways, it’s the same spirit of unity that bonds their fervent crowds – the ones that pack sweaty clubs around the world to sing and scream along with Taylor and Casasanto’s impassioned vocals. And even if they’re not cut with as much lyrical optimism this time around, the sheer power and honesty of Knuckle Puck’s songs will still give audiences a rallying cry around which to gather in transformative moments of community.
"On All Cylinders is a song about moving forward, especially in the times when you feel most alone." says the band.
