Knuckle Puck is an American pop punk band from the south suburbs of Chicago, Illinois.[2][3]
History
Formation (2011–2014)
Knuckle Puck started in 2011. The name of the band originated from a Stick to Your Guns t-shirt that said "Knuckle Puck Crew" (rather than the film The Mighty Ducks where the phrase also appears).[4] The band has released three extended plays. In 2014, the band embarked on a 2014 tour known as the "Heart Attack tour". Along with Knuckle Puck, the tour featured Man Overboard, Transit, and Forever Came Calling.[5] The band are currently in the process of touring in support of Senses Fail's "Let It Enfold You" 10th anniversary tour with No Bragging Rights [6] and To The Wind. Prior to the tour's beginning, Knuckle Puck released a 7" flexi with two new songs that they intended to release on an EP.[7]
On August 20, 2014 it was announced Knuckle Puck would be joining the Intercontinental Championship Tour, joining the UK's Neck Deep, Canada's Seaway and Australia's Trophy Eyes, in a cross-UK tour in January and February 2015. The band announced that they will be touring with Modern Baseball and a few other opening bands in November 2014. On October 6, 2014, the band announced their six-track EP While I Stay Secluded, which includes both songs from the 7" flexi, one of which has been reworked and retitled.[8]
Signing to Rise Records (2014–present)
In 2014, as part of the album "Punk Goes Pop 6", Knuckle Puck covered a song originally performed by The 1975, called "Chocolate". [9] On December 22, 2014, Knuckle Puck signed to Rise Records and plan to release their debut full length album in 2015.[10]
