The RISE of KNOCKED LOOSE | A New kind of "HEAVY"' 

I love it when insanely heavy bands like Lorna shore and Knocked Loose become popular, it's so good to see more people get into extreme music 🙌

im 41 and discovered this band last month. been into hardcore since the late 90s. this new generation of bands are amazing. i count my self a Knocked Loose fan.

You're absolutely the king of metal docs. For the longest time before you came out I was salty because of the lack of deathcore and metalcore documentaries/bios mad love 💕💕💕🎉🎉🤘🤘🤘

I love this band. They basically got me into Hardcore and I'm so thankful for that💪

As someone who was seeing knocked loose come to nashville since 2013, I must say they were GODS around here, in the southern metal scene. They could absolutely do no wrong, pop culture is a goated album, and when they started writing/performing laugh tracks we all knew they weren't long for the "underground" scene. It's actually incredible I was able to go pick up their new record off the shelf at Target. Such a cool thing to do, go from seeing them playing in living rooms, to a decade later buying a target exclusive pressing of their album.

Everyone is upset because Knocked Loose is “mainstream” and everyone is only listening to them because of their new album, but I’ve been listening to them since laugh tracks

Seriously such an underrated channel. I genuinely look forward to each and every one of your videos. Tbh, it's a shame you don't have at *least* 50K. Sending love from Alaska 🤘

Honestly, I feel like Knocked Loose as a name really fits the band and its sound. Someone mentions the name 'Knocked Loose' and I instantly hear the vocals and the drop G tuning from a few of their songs and I feel an instant surge to just mosh and hardcore dance around my house.

I grew up with 1990s Hardcore with bands like Unbroken, Morning Again, Botch, Disembodied, Groundwork, Coalesce, Deadguy, Strain, Chokehold, Refused, AcMe and so on. I think the new breed of bands is really inspiring and i am happy that many kids get into that kind of music again. Took me some time to get into Knocked Loose, but they are definitely an awesome band and live absolutely killer.

Thank you so much for making these videos, I know it may be disheartening sometimes cause the audience for these genres can be so small, but those of us who do follow you really appreciate all the work you do, cause like others have said, not many people make these informational videos on our favorite bands. Also the haircut and merch look clean 🤘🏻

Just as i was looking for something to watch while eating this video pops up in my feed. Awesome !

Love your documentaries! Keep them coming, and we'll keep watching 🤘🏾🤘🏾!

Been subbed since you had about 5k and I am stoked to see your growth. You always cover great bands, and do such a thorough job. Thanks for all you do. I will catch you on anudder video, brudder!

Dude your channel is top 5 for me, been watching all of your vids since the start, always love watching the history of bands. Don’t sweat your English, so many people only know one language, so that fact that you know at least 2 is very impressive

Love Counterparts for featuring in Billy Nomates. It’s almost like a testament of faith from them in Knocked Loose’s coming up saying “this band is gonna slay” Love your content and watching your growth man! 🤟🏻

Another great video, was already a fan of knocked loose but found out tons of awesome new info and stuff about the band. Thanks xTheYan! Warm that coffee up 😂

thank you so much for the work that went into this!!! i loved all the rare footage you dug up. i completely agree with you that KL and also Bryan are such nice guys it really is hard not to like them. (thought it was adorable that you added that comment.) that might be one thing i really love about KL. their music is heavy and brutal and painful and the guys are completely down to earth and more serious about their music and the quality of it than they are concerned about their egos, like being the cool rock/metal star kind of thing. that maybe makes their music even more raw and brutal. the guys aren't there to look tough, they simply mean everything they put out. ...hope that makes any sense... and i feel the urge to add that your english is absolutely not terrible... don't be so hard on yourself. you're completely fine ⭐

The agile juke sprint tumbling effect of this bands rhythm choice and lyrics that make a tire squealing harmonic great

I think it's worth mentioning that A Tear in the Fabric of Life is a concept album. The only one I've ever appreciated. It tells a brutal and realistic story. Goosebumps every time.

been following Knocked Loose for almost 10 years. I’m glad they blew up, they deserve it. I saw them live at Red Rocks in 2022 with $uicideboy$ and they were great. It was sick to see a hardcore band play in a stadium in front of a different type of audience .

It’s just cool seeing newer heavy bands taking the throne. Newer as in new in their large popularity. There’s been a rebirth of the core genres. Feels like the MySpace era popularity wise.

Good work on the video man! Thx a lot🤘🤘

i missed them the first time they came to my town in 2014, saw them once with weekend nachos on their last tour in 2017, and the last time they came through my town last year. uncompromising from the very beginning. every album is better than the last and its wild to see how a band like this changed the scene to what it is today so many young kids now. fucking wild shows every time.

I heard of Knocked Loose when they were touring with Bring Me the Horizon, and I was absolutely floored with their performance. It was so raw! I remember thinking "Idk if BMTH is gonna be able to top this lol" great band and happy to be a new fan relative to the other OGs on here

My buddy got me into them a few years ago. They just keep getting better and better. ATITFOL is some of the best music I’ve ever heard. The new album is just amazing

Been listening to them since I saw dead ringer music video, got the whole album laugh tracks straight away! Been a good ride since then thanks you KL

I was at that exact concert for the video of him on stage with MIW. It was absolutely amazing. I’ve seen them 3 times now and every single time has been FANTASTIC!

So cool you did a video on these guys!! Thank you! Could you actually do a video on MIW's early years (i.e., possible MySpace era...?) in the future?

Never expected this video but I'm glad to see it

44:01 Bryan sounded like a pack-a-punch weapon from COD zombies for a second there

Thanks for the content brotha 😎

You should do Boundaries next, it's amazing how far they've come.

I’m gonna be honest here and get a lot of hate, but when I first heard Knocked Loose I absolutely hated them. Now as time as passed they have become one of my favorites and I can’t get enough of them

The gospel from there first EP is one of the best metalcore songs ever made, I can't believe I was lucky enough to hear it live at one of their live shows a couple years ago

Getting to crowdsurf during the callout for Don't Reach for Me was an all time concert moment for me.

Oh shit thats me in the video of the pit at 11:00 LMAO

absolute ball draining video, keep up the hard work

Gatekeepers need to hush. Knocked Loose are gonna be the reason young people continue to get into "real hardcore" and "true metalcore" Also "Pop Culture" is a masterpiece of an EP. That's my favorite cassette I own Plugging some bands, keeping the gate open: Deadguy Unbroken Judge Harvest Snapcase Coalesce

You should do a video on Currents! More metalcore but its refreshing to see kind of a comeback for metal lately

I've been in love with them for years. I'm so glad they are getting their flowers ❤ they deserve it big time.

I really respect that they didn't compromise their sound at all in getting this big and that they did and still are bringing much smaller hardcore and death metal bands along for the ride. When Bring Me the Horizon, Architects, Code Orange and other previously heavy bands blew up they did it by pivotting to rock/pop music and made no effort to introduce their new fans to the scene they came from.

Been loving your videos, SOTS, Chelsea Grin, and KL is my fav band so I love it!

Forget Your Name is such a banger. Keith kills it 🖤

I remember February 2015 Kingmaker played their last show and knocked loose played that night, I knew they were gonna be huge didnt know when or how but they seeing them now makes me glad I became a fan

that mug goes hard

4:27 Spinellis Downtown Louisville!!! One of my favorite venues I’ve ever played!!

really enjoying this video, sad i have to go back to work lol. i’ll be back on lunch! 😂

Hey bro, i really like the longer videos. Even if you give less attention and focus to the later years, i still think its best when you cover the whole story in one video. 🤘🤘

You should check out "Underneath The Gun" They were pretty big w/ like Suicide Silence, Wings of Plague and all those bands when they were blowing up. A group of friends all very young, dominating the hxc/dxc scene

Another awesome video! I recently found your content and have been binging your documentaries. Educational and and entertaining. And if I may say so, your eyes are fucking beautiful.😂

I wish I still had access to my cell phone from 2014. I have so many videos I took of them performing in Spinelli's Downtown and Haymarket

Am i the only one dying over how he pronounced Kentucky... i know the accent definitely plays a roll but i love the accent brother! Keep on doing these videos!!! Im going to buy merch on my next payday!!

Great videio man! You do something new and different. Do I hear a french canadian accent?

glad bands like knocked loose and kublai khan are getting the attention they deserve

Bryan has the voice of an angel! A hardcore angel. Honestly he is the main attraction in the band, his unique vocal, lyrics, stage prescence, killer personality, and good looks are the face of this band. The whole crew is great don't get me wrong, but Garris is why they have 2m listeners.

Holy cow - really surprised you knew about the Manipulator original name. I keep a pretty small online presence, but this was awesome!

Got introduced to this band by their album Laugh Tracks. I love their music since then, although it took me a while to get use to the vocals. Anyone that's hating for their come up could suck a big one.

I recently came across your channel, I'm not a big fan of deathcore and metalcore, I'm more a fan of brutal death and slamming brutal death, and deathcore seemed to me a more "clean" version of slam and brutal death metal, but still I always wanted to understand it, although it didn't always work out, and so I just I came across your channel and I was fascinated, it is clear that you are passionately talking about your favorite music, I immediately looked at the main videos about myspace deathcore, I will definitely look in this strain and I do not want to seem arrogant, but, of course, if it is not difficult for you, could you name a few of the most raw, nasty and brutal deatcore releases, thank you in advance and good luck with the development of the channel.

Been listening to KL since DTAH and the video of them loading the guy in the pickup truck in the middle of nowhere 😂 definitely was an acquired taste in the beginning tho lol

10 mins in and you could tell these guys put in the work for there success

I started dipping my toes into my local hc scene in 2013 and dove in deep in 2014. I remember leaving a show and my friend who drove asked me if i had heard KL and I said no so he threw it on. We drove home without saying a word, no pauses or anything and when it was done I was like "holy fucking shit it just did not stop, it was absolutely relentless" or something along those lines. We saw them for the first time in either late summer or early fall of 2015 when they finally came to our city. a friend from our local scene was/is a graphic designer and made a shirt for them that was sold at the show and I bought one and still have it. (that graphic designer who made the shirt has a band now called corpse pile, check them out - he also used to book shows and do flyers, shirts, album art, and a lottttt of logos)

Great video! Their new album is freaking amazing. I am not a huge fan of the high vocals throughout, but I certainly don't hate them 🙂

I feel like people give so much crap for his voice. But honestly, it’s raw, gritty, and it works. Props to them for making it to the top!!

As much I’m proud of Knocked Loose for playing Coachella, I’m kinda feeling a little jealous 😂 But in all seriousness, I really am because we a lot of heavy bands out there that work their ass off and they aren’t getting acknowledged.

need a video on counterparts next

Please do Here Comes the Kraken. Love your videos a lot man!

great vid! going to check them out for sure. would love to seen an Angelmaker video as i recently found them and am now obsessed

So happy you did this video!! Still waiting on a Paleface Swiss video to pop up :P hahaha; you'll love 'nail to the tooth' forsure \m/

Haven't watched this yet but I heard the title as I read it... A NEW KIND OF 'EAVY!

The have knots is my fav song by them

When i first heard this band it reminded me of martyr ad for some reason so i didnt give them a chance. Im Glad years later i got back into them.

Possibly a video on Enterprise Earth?

Kinda miss how hardcore Pop Culture was because they've definitely gone in a more metalcore direction They're definitely better now. I still miss their hardcore sound

Love your videos! It would be so sick I'd you did a Lamb of God video. I feel like they probably have a very rich history.

In a huge twist of irony, I’m currently wearing my KL shirt and just had a burger with black coffee for lunch! Fate was preparing me for this video lol

This video was 'evvy as fuck! Right on bro good work. More contemporary deathcore bands please!

We need a vid on Acrania and Luke BREEfin.

You should do a video on the faceless

Random Q, whats your septum gauge at? Like an 8? Top notch docs man, its great to have creators in the modern metal scene. Granted, I dont look for metal creators so... thanks, Algortihm.

Knocked Loose has this thing where metal heads get put off by the high register vocals but I can personally say that they grow on you and now I can’t imagine their sound without them

Dude I love your videos and I love your content, I even would go as far as to say you did an excellent job covering KL's history. To be honest though, I did THE biggest eye roll when you began talking about how you don't care what genre's a band belongs to at around 19:00 or 20:00 minutes into the video. The reason most bands don't care about what what genre their fans lump them into is because their music/product is already a made thing. Why would they care if anybody mislabeled what their music is? What do they stand to gain from denying their music is a certain genre? The bands that really do love and have a grasp on their own music will come clean with what they think their album/music really is. As a fan of music and genre's though, it pisses me off when I see bands and people like you give out the garbage take of "oh it's just heavy". Ok? There are millions of bands and artists you could technically classify as that. Ozzy Osbourne, Knocked Loose, Bullet For My Valentine, Cannibal Corpse and Fleshgod Apocalypse could all classify under the umbrella term of "heavy" but you and I know that these bands should be put into different descriptions for what they are, not just "heavy". Whether the band agrees with it or not. It helps people also understand and come to terms with what music they like. I'll give the example Fleshgod Apocalypse. With just a couple extra words and categorizing them as a "Italian symphonic technical death metal band", that will help you understand their music and help you find related bands far easier than just saying they're a "heavy metal band".

I’m a deathcore fan too. I was really into hardcore back in the 2000s but after 2011/12 I kinda lost interest with a few exceptions. I took me a while to get into Knocked Loose as well but once they dropped A Different Shade of Blue I was hooked. Solid heavy shit right there

"And whether you die on your feet or on your knees At this point, you should take what you can fucking get!"

yo cool video! Can someone tell me what song is constantly in the background while he is on facecam please?

💜🤘

It is not realy my thing, I am more of a fan of black metal but I gotta say it's the best metalcore/hardcore band for me.

Knocked Loose and Bodysnatcher are probably my favorite current hard/borderline deathcore bands. What do we call it? Deathened Hardcore? lol

we need a video on Killwhitneydead ASAP!

I like KL a lot and its not a dig at them, but the irony of their breakthrough to the mainstream and attraction of normies to their fanbase is not lost on me. DTAH

I got into them on ATitFoL EP cause it was sent to me as a replacement on an order 😅 I was hesitant to try it at first but my god it hooked me in the end, so good

Idk why I thought of this but, do you like Daughters? I know they have some shady shit goin on, but I'm just talking about the music. I feel like you like Daughters. I do. It's weird shit, and you gotta be in a certain mood. But when it hits, it hits pretty hard. Just curious. Nice work, bro. As always. Much love. Be well.

make a angelmaker history vídeo plss

When is the counterparts video coming

Wassup dude?! You should do one on paleface Swiss- thoughts?

Also Nu Metal is life

I'm glad for their sucess! Its great to see a hxc band getting this big, cause it never happens! Getting more people into the scene is just a great thing!

Can you make a video about the deathcore band we speak texan probably my favorite deathcore band from the 2000s

Been listening to them for like five years I love the album love almost all the stuff they put out, yea some songs use the same exact riff and drum beat but it’s still a diff story being told each time

My only complaint about these guys is probably the exact reason why they got so big. Muscially they're great imo. Its great hardcore but bryan really makes it hard to get into. Which his voice is probably exactly what sets them apart from everyone else. I really don't wanna come off as hating cuz i don't dislike them but it really does sound like hes just yelling without any technique.

Common misconception: they are metalcore not hardcore.
