Australian Metalhead reacts to Knower - “Overtime” 

Metalhead and bass player here. Knower is a go-to for me when I need a break from metal. Louis Cole is a wizard, and this bass player is friggin incredible.

Love these guys!!! The drummer is a phenomenal musician! He is the drummer of Clown Core and the sax player is the other guy. The guy playing keys is the lead singer of Thirsty Merc too.

Louis Cole is a generational talent, in the same way Buddy Rich was. He definitely knows how to assemble the best of the best to work with him... and why wouldnt they. I think this song exemplifies what attracts me, a fellow metalhead, to them.... this song is just so fun to listen to. It fills me with a love of music and what its capable of.

they bring so many genres and sounds into harmony in a fun way that there really is pretty much something for everyone

It's both guys from clown core. The drummer and Sax player. Check out "Do Hot Girls Like Cords" from Knower as it is much more Metal adjacent

lovely blend of funk, r&b and prog rock.. very nice :)

That is, hands down, the sickest keyboard solo I have ever heard in my life

The Abyss from the same type of live session setup is also killer.

Absolutely riveting reaction from this guy. How can you hear those bass riffs and keep and not crack a smile?

the drummer essentially leads any band he's with, and is great on drums, bass, and keyboard. Genevieve Artadi is the woman who sings with that jazz/pop unique voice. She and Louis Cole started Knower years ago. Top notch melodic musicians rotate in and out of the band. Watch other 'Knower videos. where an entire chorus sings along outside on the garage entryway out side, and a large orchestral group plays inside the house. These videos, and Clown Core's all emphasize it's all live, except for a very occasional tiny overdub lasting maybe a second or two. I think they make a point of not taking themselves all that serious, with self deprecating gags here and there, in all their videos. But the point is the music and they all are 100% serious about that. So far I don't get tired of listening and watching them in all their configurations.

Try their track ‘Do hot girls like chords’ for something closer to ClownCore. 🤡🤘🏻

Knower is probably the sneakiest duo/group in music right now. The geniuses behind them are Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi, and their sound is amazing. Sure, it may not be up your alley with this song, but their other songs like Do Hot Girls Like Chords, It's All Nothing Until It's Everything, and One Hope may be more to your liking. They experiment with different genres, and they're not afraid to do any of them, whether it be jazz, funk, rock, metal, synthwave, drum and bass... they've done them all so far!

👍 That drummer will be Amazing when he comes out of the closet! 😁 Mike in San Diego.🌞🎸🚀🖖

i think the drums and sax are clown core.

Louis Cole is amazing, he's involved in so much good stuff. Anyway since you don't seem to be allergic to weird, are you familiar with Igorrr? Maybe check out their track Cheval and see how their brand of weird hits you

The most interesting group out there IMHO. Simplistic? Did you catch the polyrhythms?

Knower has both of the clowncore guys. And Thirsty Merc!?! Seriously wtf.

Should've reacted to the studio version. It's a lot better.
