Knives Share New Single & Video “PHD” Ahead Of UK & EU Spring Tour

Following the release of their riotous anti-anthem, The Dagger, Bristol, UK’s Knives have shared the visceral track, PHD, from their upcoming debut album, Glitter, that will be released on the 2nd May via Marshall Records. Knives‘ latest offering highlights toxic practices that plague the music industry, which artists and creatives confront daily, ranging from gaslighting and belittlement to devaluation and everything in between. The band will be embarking on a UK & EU headline tour starting in April 2025 with tickets available here.

“PHD is about how some companies within the music industry can be immoral, yet simultaneously so integral that there’s no escaping them. When the band was starting out, an industry person we worked with told us that our entire success was due to them—not to the hard work and effort that the six of us constantly put in. It’s fair to say we found this so infuriating that we had to write a song about it.” (drummer Erin Cook)

Knives want to be a tool for good in a scene that often forgets its roots. By promoting inclusivity and diversity and celebrating this as much as possible in their art, the band understands that it is an ongoing commitment.
