I can't get over this fucking EP. I've never even listened to hardcore before but this is so fucking good. The attitude, the aggression, the honesty, it's all there. The first track: anti-christian isn't exactly a new idea in music but you get the feeling that these guys, growing up in Kentucky, really mean this shit when they play it. It's not contrived at all. It's more like, on there own, they stumbled across the time-honored idea of bashing religion through song and they're not just imitating others.
They aren't anti Christian. Hes simply asking why some Christians condemn all while looking at themselves on pedestal. The whole contradiction of being loving life but looking forward to death. Ps I'm Christian
I was born by the river, dirty and mean Learned how to fight for everything that I need You try and you lose A game called life just another day Being born on the wrong side Who the fuck is this? Another try hard, boring, same outlook, same story But I've seen it too many times You are not one of a kind This is what separates the boys from the men You are not like me, you are just like them Weak and distraught, you don't fucking know me Fingertips and ears in my trophy case Just another victim I refuse to be a part of your try hard system All of these men are just boys Separate them, take them out, do whatever to replace them It's getting harder to sleep, I've been gritting my teeth They want an easy way out, but have never seen the streets Whether you die on your feet or on your knees, at this point you should take what you can fucking get You are the wrong side of the hill, where snow doesn't melt You are a fucking waste of space, just waiting for hell
Trying to find something to say about the lyrics. All of the songs are written from the perspective of the vocalist, and each have a theme of crushing disillusionment with the world, personal relationships, and finding meaning/solidarity, even in hardcore or with your closest friends and family. At one point he even admits that he's through with drugs and just wants to be sober, but doesnt want to identify with the straight edge movement. Like others who act in bad faith because of religion, he feels he would be doing the same by adopting that label and trying to find connection with others who have chosen that lifestyle. Trying to connect with others is ultimately pointless because we are all fundamentally cut off from any semblance of authenticity in social interaction or genuine personal growth, by forces that are both alien to and a part of us. I think the forces he's pointing to, are of course tied to capitalism and the way we are self alienated by our society, where everything is commoditized, where we're essentially trained to be narcissistic sociopaths in order to succeed. Thats why he says he's rejecting that "tryhard lifestyle". We have to bury our problems and be on top of everything. The crushing inner anxiety and self loathing this causes makes us unable connect with others. Ultimately, there is no catharsis in the vocalist's eyes. This is the way it is and it's so fucked we cant even begin to fix it.
Fuck I just found this, but fuck dude totally just nailed my life experience with the "I'm not straight edge id just rather be sober" line. Went through all that druggie shit came out of it, shits for the birds. Good stuff, you dudes still active?
Small victories, nothing worth my time I can't get my failures out of my fucking mind And there is nothing, nothing that can save me This is everything, there is nothing left to find When they reach my body, please don't be surprised I'm sorry isn't good enough, you'll just have to live with this I am the same person that I have been That is just another fucking has-been Oh my god I'm selfish, I get it Only care about you when I am pretending I will break your pretty little heart Don't put it past me baby girl, I'm a wild card With a past that is full of mistakes And anxiety that gives me the shakes, because I'm... Dirty and haggard, covered in blood Selfish bastard, never know love Covered in mud
All my friends are so full of shit They talk a lot, but they'll never fucking get it We're all stuck here in the same place So smile and wave just so that you can save face I wish that I could be you I wish that you could be me, so you could see you I am better now, but I still have my days It only took one time, it'll never be the same Dig me out of this hole I've made Dig me out of this, oh my God How do I tell my kids that growing up doesn't suck? How do I tell them that friends are always there, when nobody gives a fuck? And do I tell them that I spent most of my time this sad? Do I tell them that I let the world stress me out this bad? No no no All my friends have problems with their selves We don't talk about it, nothing helps We tuck it deep inside, so no one can see Then we think about it later in our fucking dreams Where are all my friends? All my friends are dead.
Code Orange blows this band out of the water. Their lyrics are amazing and their music envokes feelings of rage, anger, and hatred like no other band I've heard. Knocked Loose are pretty hot right now (so is the whole beat down genre) and I just don't really get it. they have some cool musical parts but I can't deal with the vocals.
100%. Everything after Laugh Tracks has been downhill IMO. Now they just seem like a cheap Imitation of themselves. If you want some OG Knocked loose vibes, I would check out Thrown.
Bury me, I'm counting down the days I like the way you stand with God when you're too afraid You'll spend your whole life running, and you'll still end up with nothing But I've washed my sins in the blood of Jesus Bury you 'til it fucking hurts, but I don't want to be a member of your fucking church Tell me, why are Christians so accepting of death? Does that mean that I don't believe in God? 'Cause I'm not ready to leave yet No I'm not ready to die at all But you, you've got it all figured out You're counting down the days, but what makes you so certain you're the one to be saved? 'Cause let me tell you, love like this must cost and arm and a fucking leg Because my tongue will not move, no matter how hard I beg
This out classes laugh tracks in the same way Failure/Control out classes Pain Again, all great works but the later lacking the anger/aggressiveness of the first releases. Fucking awesome band either way
all my friends kicked the fuck out of each other while listening to this in my basement. funny thing is, they don't even like hardcore. they like hip hop.
Saw these guys yesterday and i got elbowed to the face by a guy twice my size and collapsed to the floor. I guess we can all say i was knocked loose (;

Not all heroes wear capes.
This EP is so good that i had to delete it from favorites and put it back just to be back on top.
Unpopular opinion: This is better than Laugh Tracks
I agree but still love laugh tracks
I thought more people liked this than Laugh Tracks
I think lotsa say that
Larry David might could improve this band.
i like this album way more than laugh tracks
This band deserves to have existed in the early-mid 2000s and would be legend by now.
Half speed for SUPER BEATDOWN
i really like these vocals
me too bro
Me three
me 4
First heard them and was like wtf is with this dudes vocals. They really grew on me, dope band 🤙
me 5

Alex Alexson they hard as fuck
You're dumb, it isn't even anti Christian. It is a different perspective where they are exploring ideas.
Actually you aren't dumb. Just misconstrued what it meant. They are very open to all idealogy, the song is about the struggle.
They aren't anti Christian. Hes simply asking why some Christians condemn all while looking at themselves on pedestal. The whole contradiction of being loving life but looking forward to death. Ps I'm Christian
Oh wow, anti-pacifists, how tough....try being anti Islam....that takes balls.
I was born by the river, dirty and mean
Learned how to fight for everything that I need
You try and you lose
A game called life just another day
Being born on the wrong side
Who the fuck is this?
Another try hard, boring, same outlook, same story
But I've seen it too many times
You are not one of a kind
This is what separates the boys from the men
You are not like me, you are just like them
Weak and distraught, you don't fucking know me
Fingertips and ears in my trophy case
Just another victim
I refuse to be a part of your try hard system
All of these men are just boys
Separate them, take them out, do whatever to replace them
It's getting harder to sleep, I've been gritting my teeth
They want an easy way out, but have never seen the streets
Whether you die on your feet or on your knees, at this point you should take what you can fucking get
You are the wrong side of the hill, where snow doesn't melt
You are a fucking waste of space, just waiting for hell
this is so much angrier than laugh tracks
this album way better than laugh tracks imo

They just keep getting better
@@HalfBlaked97Unfortunately no, Pop Culture was their best and most raw stuff put out
Just discovered this band today and I'm seeing them tonight and I'm so excited omfg
not generic at all, such a different sound, with so much anger. this is some heavy ass shit dawg
Wish I found this band years ago all the albums this is the only band I've actually loved.
Knocked Loose and As Blood Runs Black are the bands that I can actually relate to when it comes to their music
I can listen to this all day I swear. ❤️
Best release by them and they fucking took it off Spotify.
Oceano bring me here!!! Guys!!! respect From Chile!!!!
Small victories, nothing worth my time
I can't get my failures out of my fucking mind
And there is nothing, nothing that can save me
This is everything, there is nothing left to find
When they reach my body, please don't be surprised
I'm sorry isn't good enough, you'll just have to live with this
I am the same person that I have been
That is just another fucking has-been
Oh my god I'm selfish, I get it
Only care about you when I am pretending
I will break your pretty little heart
Don't put it past me baby girl, I'm a wild card
With a past that is full of mistakes
And anxiety that gives me the shakes, because I'm...
Dirty and haggard, covered in blood
Selfish bastard, never know love
Covered in mud
i keep throwing money at my computer and knocked loose merch still isnt coming out of this fucking macintosh piece of shit
A top 10 all-time favorite as far as I'm concerned. So raw and straight to the point. Exactly what hardcore should be.
All my friends are so full of shit
They talk a lot, but they'll never fucking get it
We're all stuck here in the same place
So smile and wave just so that you can save face
I wish that I could be you
I wish that you could be me, so you could see you
I am better now, but I still have my days
It only took one time, it'll never be the same
Dig me out of this hole I've made
Dig me out of this, oh my God
How do I tell my kids that growing up doesn't suck?
How do I tell them that friends are always there, when nobody gives a fuck?
And do I tell them that I spent most of my time this sad?
Do I tell them that I let the world stress me out this bad?
No no no
All my friends have problems with their selves
We don't talk about it, nothing helps
We tuck it deep inside, so no one can see
Then we think about it later in our fucking dreams
Where are all my friends?
All my friends are dead.
Thank you! You are a legend.
best song
Damn. This has become one of my favorite ep’s to listen to and it’s 2020, haha. Hardcore never dies ✊🏻
Me too, Failure//Control by Varials also kills. Also The Axis Of Equality by Judiciary. Hardcore has produced the best EPs know to earth 😂
got kinda sad when it ended tbh
Jimmy Devine start it over again when that happens
Elias Ortize that's exactly my advice too🤘
I would put this band on my birthday party and get high as fuck while I skate.
Angel Gutierrez gay
Carl Mishka that actually sounds like a chill time my dude lmao
Carl Mishka invite me il bring boose.
Carl Mishka yup
I've been jamming this hard lately. I really love the vocals.
my friend showed me this band and within literally 5 seconds of listening i fucking loved it. Keep it up! \m/
ALL YOUR SHIT IS OUT OF STOCK. RE-STOCK ASAP.
I just discovered you guys today and I'm already hooked.
Loving this tone! what amps you guys running through?
6505+ on this album
+Knocked Loose wish you would tone match this amp with positive grid ...............
Can’t believe they took this off streaming services recently.
Yeah me too
Just now saw this and had to come here. Pissed
Why’d they take it off? :(
Hey I just bought one of your vinyls ... Plus you guys signed it which was awesome so just wanted to say thanks 😊❤️
I used to not like the vocals at all, but now I can listen to KL all day \m/
Please please please come to Washington state. I saw u guys at WWWY and you guys absolutely f***ing killed it. I need more of those shows in my life.
Didn't think I'd like this compared to the Laugh Tracks album but I actually enjoy this A LOT
It's as if The Acacia Strain and Code Orange had a baby. I absolutely love this.
I WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON YOUR BAND BUT EVERYTHING IS SOLD OUT HELP
Kayla Mitchell SAME UPDATE THE STORE PLS I NEED TO REP SOME K//L
Just placed an order for this on vinyl and ordered a top while i was at it. plenty of stuff on offer.
Same, But hoodies are $40. and im saving up for a pc and tickets to concerts :(
lol hardcore isn't for girls.
@@SunnyDementia You'd better fuck off then ;)
I can't blast this loud enough.
Best Hardcore EP for sure. Can't get over that Guitar tone
His voice so fucking rage and fucking just right amount for me to dgaf
still amazing 5 years later.
Knocked Loose > Code Orange
Lol no.
Fuck outta here

This. Fucking. Band. Is. AMAZING!!!!!!
Deserve more recognition. Fucking solid.
I’m here because they took it off of Spotify :(
Best ep ever
This is -good- FUCKING *AMAZING* !
Bury me, I'm counting down the days
I like the way you stand with God when you're too afraid
You'll spend your whole life running, and you'll still end up with nothing
But I've washed my sins in the blood of Jesus
Bury you 'til it fucking hurts, but I don't want to be a member of your fucking church
Tell me, why are Christians so accepting of death?
Does that mean that I don't believe in God?
'Cause I'm not ready to leave yet
No I'm not ready to die at all
But you, you've got it all figured out
You're counting down the days, but what makes you so certain you're the one to be saved?
'Cause let me tell you, love like this must cost and arm and a fucking leg
Because my tongue will not move, no matter how hard I beg

I knew there was a hole in my chest that needed a plug shaped, “POP CULTURE” thank you doctors, I’m all better now!
Put this on on Apple Music my guys
spot on 👌
ive never heard vocals with such intensity
Adam LeBlanc Must be new to hardcore.
reminds me of a heavier Most Precious Blood. i approve.
They definitly tap into that early Trustkill Records label sound.
This is so good
Javier Lagunas -sure is
Their best record imo
