Knifes announce debut EP “Proof of Concept”

Knifes are an exceptional band with an exceptional story. Born in Brazil, onstage and live, in front of a crowd of 50,000, KNIFES are a new trio from Burbank, California, already with a wealth of history. The band's debut EP “Proof of Concept” will be released on October 2nd. Knifes have also released their first ever single, “The Comedown” which you can stream below! The genesis of KNIFES formed when guitarist Ben Young stepped in as the lead guitar player for Linkin Park for two shows, after the band's guitarist Brad Delson, who Young teched for, got sick. After these shows, playing a magnitude of iconic songs in massive stadiums, Young began writing songs himself. He then teamed with Warren Johnson - another Linkin Park roadie - on drums, and the two started jamming and formed KNIFES. After Chester's passing, Young and Johnson started working for Fall Out Boy, and had Brian Diaz join on bass. Brian is Pete Wentz's long-time bass tech; collectively the three members of KNIFES have worked for some of the biggest artists globally including: Guns ‘N Roses, Slipknot, Deftones, Black Eyed Peas, and Pharrell Williams.
