Knuckle Puck Reveal “Gasoline” & Announce “Disposable Life” EP

Knuckle Puck, one of the aggressive pop-punk genre’s preeminent forces have announced that their brand new EP, Disposable Life, will be released on the 4th February on Wax Bodega. The record opens with their new single, Gasoline, a mid-tempo pop punk thunder clap that hammers home the record’s thesis on its chorus and plans for a radical new reality: “With every day spent in the shade, think I’ll watch it burn/Throw gasoline on an open flame”. Knuckle Puck will also be on the road from February with with Hot Mulligan, Meet Me @ the Altar, and Anxious.

The five song Disposable Life EP, which comprises four originals and a scorching, faithful cover of Blink-182‘s Here’s Your Letter, is a recommitment to the band’s founding sound, the tight, manicured, major-key chaos of ripping guitars, sprinting bass, airtight drums, and harmonised vocals, but it’s also a recommitment to an idea: that every day and moment has meaning, and every life has value. Disposable Life is a reintroduction to Knuckle Puck: it’s a celebration of the past decade of the band and a supercharged mission statement for the future. It’s a sharp inhale, a spring-loaded blast off the starting blocks after the tumult of the past two years.

“It feels like we’re kind of rebooting Knuckle Puck. Making this music has been the most fun we’ve had in a really long time. It was fresh and exciting again. It was like ‘Oh man, this feels like it did in 2013.’ We captured some of that magic.” (vocalist Joe Taylor)
