Knocked Loose - You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To is the third studio album by American hardcore punk band Knocked Loose, released in May 2024 via Pure Noise Records.

As Knocked Loose chipped away at what would become their third album, they felt the pressure from all sides. Internally, there was the need to challenge themselves as songwriters while retaining the merciless intensity and unflinching honesty that have always been their calling cards.

Externally, there was a whole new set of eyes on the hard-touring Louisville quintet, following a banner year in which they’d brought their underground-seasoned sound to some of the world’s biggest stages, finding themselves the unlikely viral darlings of both Coachella and Bonnaroo.

The creative process was arduous, with the band writing close to 40 songs across a span of four years before locking in the 10 tracks that make up new LP You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To.

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To received widespread acclaim upon release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 87 out of 100 based on 7 reviews Ellis Heasley of Distorted Sound Magazine compared it to Slipknot's Iowa "in its complete disregard for what a band with this much hype is supposed to do in this situation...and ultimately stands as further irrefutable proof of a truly generational talent”.

This album in an Australian & New Zealand exclusive limited edition of 500 copies on translucent green, yellow & black twist coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve, pressed in Europe via Pure Noise.
