The Knockarounds http://virb.com/theknockarounds http://www.theknockarounds.com Although the Indie powerpop sound of the Knockarounds has been compared to such bands as The Killers and Bloc Party, what sets them apart is their unexpected integration of graphic and sarcastic lyrics. The Knockarounds also take a DIY approach to their marketing and production, having been independent filmmakers. The Los Angeles based Knockarounds were conceived by singer Ro Sahebi and guitarist Jason Michael over cocktails at a nightclub in Las Vegas. Prior to The Knockarounds, Ro was the frontman / songwriter of Drive Thru recording artist, Cousin Oliver. After several years as a studio guitarist and producer for the label, Ro felt uninspired by the current state of pop music and wanted to bring something fresh to the table. In 2006, The Knockarounds added keyboardist / producer Cliff Tang and formed BiteSize Inc. in order to create a vehicle to bring their brand of music directly to the fans. The decision to create a Indie label instead of signing with a major was made to fast track production, maintain creative control, and keep the best interests of the band at heart. The Knockarounds first EP "The Hurt Stays" was completed in 2007 and includes their first single "The Loner." ]]> Virb 2.0 (@theknockarounds) en Dead Like You http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/389950 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 19:58:33 -0800 http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/389950 Siouxsie Is My Goth Queen http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162307 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 00:50:11 -0700 http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162307 Taking It Back http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162306 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 00:46:59 -0700 http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162306 On Your Back http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162305 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 00:44:50 -0700 http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162305 The Hurt Stays http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162304 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 00:42:05 -0700 http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162304 The Loner http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162303 Sun, 02 Sep 2007 00:39:17 -0700 http://virb.com/theknockarounds/audio/162303 Loner.mov http://virb.com/theknockarounds/videos/1741745 For FREE DOWNLOADS join the OFFICIAL Knockarounds Mailing List
