About Me

The Knockdown, also known as the musical answer to world hunger, has been hanging out at middle school dances everywhere since the twlight months of 2004. Blessed with amazingly good looks and genius level intellect, The Knockouts are a fiercely competitive beast with real teeth and sharp claws that will make you beg for mercy. Knockdowns are also highly skilled painters who often watch movies in the nude to find inspiration for their work. Furthermore, The Knockersdown are consistantly placing in the top ten among humanity's greatest minds on the history of goat racing and even compete yearly in the almost world famous Slovakian goat races. However, most of the time this comglamorate of rightiousness is making a display of how to rock properly in front of thousands of scraming fans. Do not be fooled! The Knockdown will find you asleep in your bed and rock you until your mother kicks everyone out of the house. Right now, our ep is on sale for $3.50 ppd from Raise Your Fist Records or you can order it here! This offer is only good until July 1st! Buy our EP: "The Nights I Can't Remember I Can't Forget!"
