the Knew’s “Pulpería”

cover_1200w

There was a time when rock music didn’t sound so tame. A time when crowds were rowdy and riots were incited by barbarian frontmen that would take chugs of Jack between dirty guitar riffs and smoked cigarettes. These same bands would play behind chicken wire and have multiple fights breakout mid-song. You would find women with multiple tats littering around the front of the venue waving their bra in midair to gain the attention of any willing member on stage. There were no apologies back then. Denver’s rock titans, the Knew, have created an album that embodies all of the aforementioned. It’s the kind of album Kings of Leon should have made on the second effort. The Knew have  finished their new album and about to slay crowds by the thousands starting next month. The name of their forthcoming album is “Pulpería”, and they’re having a CD release party March 6th at the Bluebird with a couple of friends. Details below. BTW, this album marks the first full length by the Knew and recorded/engineered/mixed by Nick Sullivan (Peña) @ Macy Sound Studio in SE Denver. For those of you out-of-towners that will be in Austin for SXSW, make sure to keep an eye out for them.
