about

Knee Socks hit the FTL switch with their first EP We Were NOT Told There Would Be Bees. Filled with high-octane garage-rock jams, Knee Socks combine both space-y and aggressive guitar sounds from Declan Hills with a tight rhythm section anchored by Brayden Grieves' technically and sonically impressive drum work. Robbie Hynes fills the low end with non-stop, pulsing bass work which contrasts the frantic energy of Hills' vocals.

A step up in intensity (and sound quality) from their basement record Shoddy Operation (2015), Knee Socks put out their best effort to date. They hope you like it as much as they do.
