Catalogue #16: Bloody Knees - Stitches EP

'Stitches' is a collection of tracks that throws the melodic hooks of early Weezer together with the same overdriven bite that propelled everything Nirvana released.

Bloody Knees are a four-piece that can be summed up by the refrain from the title track of their new EP, Stitches: “I’m covered in blood / but at least I’m having fun”.

Not dissimilar to gritty UK pop-punk bands like Gnarwolves and Birdskulls that have been gaining momentum over the last two years, Bloody Knees are all about surf-pop guitar hooks that crash into a very British kind of melancholy. Their music is the manifestation of spilled pints, leftover pizza and skateboarding injuries.

Annoncering

What the critics say: “The angriest thing to come out of the UK since the Daily Mail comments section” (DIY)

Released off the back of a summer tour with Cerebral Ballzy, Stitches is a collection of tracks that throws the melodic hooks of early Weezer together with the same overdriven bite that propelled everything Nirvana released.
