With their debut album ‘Letting You Let Me Down’ on Durham's Potluck label, The Kneads weave a sonic tapestry celebrating a bygone era, graced at one time by the likes of Polvo, Pavement, Superchunk, and Fugazi. Through syncopated rhythms, dissonant chord structures, and a pop sensibility, Greensboro, North Carolina’s The Kneads sling 90s indie rock and D.C. hardcore-hash with reckless abandon – and all within a 40-hour work week!
In 2016, The Kneads shared the stage with some incredible bands including Beach Slang, Lee Baines & the Glory Fires, Positive No, Diarrhea Planet, Spider Bags, Ne-Hi, Best Behavior, Totally Slow, Horizontal Hold, LeBaron, Stray Owls, Harrison Ford Mustang, Blunt Bangs, State Champion, Big Bliss, Knurr & Spell, Hectorina, Caustic Cassanova, and Long Arms. New year, new shows!!!
At the helm of ‘Letting You Let Me Down’ is the legendary Jerry Kee, chief engineer and owner of Duck Kee Studios in Mebane, N.C. Having recorded a number of seminal North Carolina bands throughout his career, Kee’s tweaking and tutelage helped sculpt The Kneads’ sound recording into an essential primary document. We hope you dive in and enjoy the ride.
Sincerely,
The Kneads
