Over the last thirteen years the band have nurtured their craft across three albums and have artfully balanced their emotional spectrum, trading in high-tempered and deeply introspective lyricism, but also cutting the tension with an underlying layer of optimism. But now, with the release of their fourth LP, Losing What We Love, Knuckle Puck are done sugarcoating life’s hard truths. It is a record about coming to terms with exactly that. It is an attempt to lean into the transition between a high point in life to a low point. These songs are a tribute to the familiar while acknowledging that nothing can stay the same forever. “For a long time, we felt a responsibility to have this overwhelming hopefulness to our lyrics,” Cassasanto explains. “This time around, we started writing more honestly with less intent to sound cool or hopeful. It feels like we’re in a bit of a losing battle with the state of the world, but in the past we’d say, ‘Oh, but it’s all OK!’ Now we’re saying, ‘No, we should be panicking.’ This record feels like more of an expression than a motivational speech.” Recorded with longtime producer Seth Henderson (State Champs, Real Friends), Losing What We Love follows 2022’s Disposable Life EP and marks the band’s first LP for Pure Noise Records. In many ways, it’s a throwback to their earliest days – not necessarily in sound, but in songwriting essence, tapping into the same collaborative magic they found in bedrooms and garages across Chicago’s south suburbs as teenagers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pure Noise Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50408987033931,"sku":"2057131","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50408990474571,"sku":"2057144","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Losing_What_We_Love_f3874ad5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726609298"},{"product_id":"retrospective-13","title":"Retrospective","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis release takes a look back at Knuckle Puck's early years - \u003ci\u003eRetrospective\u003c\/i\u003e is a vinyl combo that collects several releases, all originally pressed on vinyl by Bad Timing Records between 2014 and 2015.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Bodega","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50498504917323,"sku":"2024775","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/KnucklePuck_RETROSPECTIVE-3600_b7c34f5b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727749104"},{"product_id":"disposable-life-2","title":"Disposable Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Nobody wants to live a life that is disposable,\" says Taylor. \"Everybody wants their life and their time to mean something, and I think in our daily lives, there's a choice that can be made to do small things every day so that you really do feel like, 'hey, my life has value.\" The title and the record's lyrics are partly a reframing of the average human experience. Modern culture has convinced us that a 'normal' life is unremarkable, but this paves over the beauty inherent in routine relations. \"Everyone looks at their experience as like, 'I want something more,\" explains Taylor. \"But any conversation that you have with anybody, there are things that you can pull out, or walking somewhere and just looking around and being alive- There's a lot of meaning to me in that, even if you go for a two block walk.\" The songs on Disposable Life came from ideas Taylor workshopped with lead guitarist Kevin Maida.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the band gathered again post-pandemic restrictions, the goal was simple: write songs and hinish them without any external end goal.
