Born in the cultural wastelands of suburbia, Calgary's Knucklehead has remained a staple of the Western Canadian Punk scene since 1994, while steadily gaining an ever-larger audience throughout the rest of North America and Europe. With 8 releases on various Canadian, American and European record labels, hundreds of shows (both head-lining and in support of international touring acts such as The Misfits, Swingin' Utters, Suicide Machines and Propaghandi), and 8 North American tours under their belts, Knucklehead has proven that they're here to stay.
Drawing influence from artists such as Stiff Little Fingers, Cocksparrer, Bad Religion, Billy Bragg and Social Distortion, Knucklehead manages to blend a variety of influences into their own catchy and cohesive brand of straightforward Punk Rock. Although most widely appreciated for their pounding rhythms and sing along choruses, the band has also gained recognition for the socio-political views expressed in a number of their songs and their ability to provide commentary without coming off as preachy.
