about
The Knives of Neptune formed during July 2003 in the western suburbs of Melbourne. Born from the ashes of iconic post-punk outfits Fallopian Tube and Zero Point Defect, the sound of both their demo and subsequent EP release, Digital Bildungsroman, received rave reviews and showcased the band's ability to cleverly fuse atmospheric sounds with all-out rock assaults. Shortly after, the Knives of Neptune underwent two dramatic line-up changes, choosing to part ways with first Stuart Hardy (keys/synths), then Matt Bykersma (vocals). The new lineup saw Panag joining on keys/synths, and Wayne and Panag assuming shared vocal duties - reducing the band to a 4-piece. As a result, the band's creative output skyrocketed, allowing them to write the material for their debut album, Lakes, in just a few months. The lineup change has not only affected the band's sound, but provided a theme for the entire album. Subtitled 'An Underwater Exploration of Guilt', Lakes chronicles the days, weeks and months of emotional aftermath the band went through after their decision to part ways with former members and friends.
