Fresh Chops: Knuckle

19th Jun 2014

After meeting at a Halloween 2013 gig (where drummer Ben Wallbanks was wearing a pair of tights coupled with a fetching potato sack on his head and guitarist Jonny Firth was dressed as plain old Jonny Firth) today’s Fresh Chops stars – Knuckle – were born kicking and screaming into the lowdown dirty world of blues.

The filthy garage blues music they make has recently been self-described as “The Black Keys on crack”, but don’t let that put you off.

On latest track ‘Living Hell’ the lightning fast and intricate drumming style of Wallbanks melds into a delicious audio soup with Firth’s emotive blues lyrics and engaging vocal range, delivered with a side order of warm, energizing, fuzzy guitar riffs.

Why not go and see them at one of their many upcoming live appearances? Bring your potato sacks.
