We are Know Boundaries, a 6 piece band hailing fom Madison, WI, USA. We
focus on energy in our music along with well delivered Hiphop styled lyrics
with a rock edge (we call it ULTRA ROCK HIPHOP). We have our own sound
but we share your problems. If you want the whole story, here's our official
Bio:
In a culture that seems all too content to ignore the atrocities, injustices, and
contradictions of the world, Madison, Wisconsin’s KNOW BOUNDARIES
assaults the ears of listeners and offers them the opportunity to “eat the red
pill” and truly see the reality of the world around them.
By combining the mediums of Hiphop and rock into an organic, modern, tour-
de-force, KNOW BOUNDARIES takes listeners on a musical ride exposing
them to a wide variety of musical and intellectual influences. Fusing the
“boom-bap” of THE ROOTS, the sonic freedom of The Mars Volta, the
bombastic energy of ONYX, the intellectual curiosity of Saul Williams, the
rawness of Rage Against The Machine, and the fluid creativity of Jack
Kerouac, KNOW BOUNDARIES creates a distinctly unique, yet completely
accessible sound that is sure to ‘maraud for ears’ at an astonishing rate.
Since forming only a few years ago, response to KNOW BOUNDARIES has
been immediate, and their resume abounds with awards and accolades. In
only a short time, they have garnered national label interest, received
corporate sponsorship through Budweiser’s “True Music” program, showcased
at numerous industry conferences, received the Madison Area Music Award
for Best Hiphop Group or Artist, & for Madison’s Best Hiphop/Urban Song in
2007 for the live version of "the slingblade" (listen above), and opened up for
nationally touring groups such as THE ROOTS, the Black Eyed Peas,
Cypress Hill, the Gin Blossoms, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, 3 Days Grace,
Caroline Spine,Buckcherry, Fastball, & Something Corporate.
Unlike many genre-blending groups, KNOW BOUNDARIES gets props from
both Hiphop and rock camps. The six members of the band are well-
educated, articulate musicians that bring their own individual vibes to the
table resulting in the one-of-a-kind KNOW BOUNDARIES sound. Think Muse
meets Blackalicious, Mars Volta meets Little Brother, Radiohead meets
Outkast, and Nine Inch Nails meet THE ROOTS.
If you're into poetry, politics, & music, KNOW BOUNDARIES will more than
satisfy.
