THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “After several years of perfecting their low-end heavy rock with a demo EP and a split LP with Ohio’s Brain Cave, Baltimore’s Knub return with their first full-length offering Crub. It was recorded in two sessions, initially envisioned as a pair of EPs, but collected as one album instead.
What Knub have done since their formation remains the same — focusing on raw power, hooks, catchy melodies and tones so heavy you need a forklift to move them. In the same vein as ’90s powerhouses like Aftertaste-era Helmet, Stompbox, Handsome and Quicksand — as well as current contemporaries like Whores, Wrong and Torche — the sound of Knub melds blunt-force riffs with a vocalist who can actually sing and adds a layer of melody to counteract the bulldozing music. They are a live fixture throughout the mid-Atlantic and Midwest, jaunting around frequently to prove that the sound on record matches the live experience.”
