A number of webisodes have chronicled Knocked Loose‘s spring European/UK tour, which includes festival engagements, headline shows, and openings for Metallica and Gojira, as per theprp. The third chapter in the series, which the well-known metalcore band named “Wherever We May Roam,” went up online today, June 22. The band has had several difficulties during that journey, such as guitarist Isaac Hale being struck by a car at a crosswalk and frontman Bryan Garris receiving a Bell’s palsy diagnosis during the opening gigs.
Upcoming shows:
Vocalist Bryan Garris, guitarist Isaac Hale, bassist Kevin Otten, and drummer Dylan Isaacs created Knocked Loose in June 2013 under the name Manipulator. With the exception of Isaacs, all of the members had previously performed with Jared Barron on drums in the band Speaker. They changed their name to Knocked Loose after receiving a call from another band called Manipulator shortly after advertising their July 26 debut performance. “Manipulator” was the band’s debut single, which came out in August 2013. The band’s following song, “The Have Nots,” was released on October 24, the same month Little Heart Records announced that they had signed Knocked Loose. October 2014 saw the re-release of both songs as 2013 demos.
“Pop Culture”, their debut EP, was published by Little Heart Records in 2014. Additionally, Knocked Loose contributed the song “SS” to the Little Heart Records sampler “I Would Have Waited an Eternity for This”, which was part of the Warped Tour that year. The majority of the band’s early years were devoted to excessive American touring. They released a split with Damaged Goods on No Luck Records in 2015 (and digitally through Little Heart).
