about
1. Knockout was born in the suburbs of Chicago in January of 1999. This 4-piece quartet that likes to play fast, melodic, pop-punk with influences such as Humble Beginnings, NOFX, Blink-182, the Ataris, Strung Out and Pulley. They have played all over Illinois and have toured out to California. They have played with bands such as Unsung Zeros, Mest, Allister, Sloppy Meat Eaters, River City High, 5o4plan and Rise Against. Knockout has put out a few recordings themselves and have recently released a 9-song CD on Mr. Good Records titled, "Driven to Distraction". After their first release, they toured heavily with many local bands, mainly 5o4plan, and made very good friends along the way, such as Fall Out Boy. They even introduced Fall Out Boy to Sean O'Keefe who later recorded and produced their break-through album, "Take This To Your Grave" Where they even name-dropped KO in the "thank you" section as "their brothers in metal." Then in October 2002, they release their full length CD "Searching for Solid Ground" which contains 13 tracks that'll keep you rocking until that unwanted pregnancy is aborted. "Searching for Solid Ground" was released by their new label they signed with, Fearless Records. Then later in July '02, Knockout lost a crucial member when TJ decided to quit the band, and go to pursue other projects. No fear though, the Chicago pop-punkers added one of their original members in Chris Tag, the bassist. After the new addition, Knockout toured like no tomorrow goi
