Boom Bust Album Reviews:
Westword- "...tight, punchy songcraft"
Kaffeine Buzz- "...will no doubt get the crowd spilling their Old Style..."
Wayward Panties- "...wild, sweaty, exhausted and ridiculously satisying..."
     
         
  "...they're a more striking aural collision of their most prominent influences, including punk, alt- country, classic rock, British dance-punk and garage rock...now the Knew plays to spastic crowds of friends and strangers all losing themselves in the groove, the beat, the cut. The band quietly became one of the most exciting live acts in the state."      
       
         
  "This was the single-best set I saw on Saturday. And that’s saying something, because I ducked out of the showcase slightly early to check out the Warlocks/Black Angels show at the Bluebird Theater later that night...The Knew has always been a solid live band, a good-times rock outfit known and loved for their wild shows and their garage-styled rock ’n’ roll. But now it seems like they’re all grown up. Playing with the right mix of garage and classic rock...their music leapt off the stage and into their fans’ chests. It wasn’t long before everyone was overtaken with the passion — the need to move and dance and yelp along. Talk about a welcome evolution...now the Knew...are one of the most exciting bands in the Mile High City."      
       
         
  "...it’s plain and simple fun. It’s hard to be in a room with the Knew playing and not feel a sort of blissful rush of feelings that make your body start moving in some way, even if it’s just a secret toe-tap at the start of each of their songs."        
       
         
  "...From start to finish, the band put on a nearly perfect set, low on improvisation but high on an infectious energy. The group's rootsy, bluesy, punk-infused sound compiles rock history in five-minute increments, while managing to push the sound in new directions.

What's more, Jacob Hansen is the consummate frontman, belting out pitch-perfect howls while nimbly providing the audience with precise and astonishing leads that are creative without lapsing into self-indulgent wankery...On stage, the Knew brings it like few bands I have ever seen. Those who haven't seen the band yet are missing out."

 		     
       
         
  "How fun was that? Seriously, how frickin awesome was that record [Holladay]?"      
 
99.5FM 'The Mountain'- 1.14.08- Jake Schroeder
      
         
  "...Holladay...delivers a slab of amped up, bluesy garage rock fortified with a solid slug of Denver cowpunk. Live, these guys play like their lives depend on it..."      
       
         
  "...Holladay...is lively, raucous and smart enough to get out while the getting's good...Fortunately, it's time well spent. "      
       
         
  "...Their sound is country slam dancing with garage rock, punk square dancing with the blues. Their playing was tight, accomplished and damn tasty. It doesn't hurt a bit that they look and feel like a proper rock band, kind of outlandish and half-wild, oozing confidence and manic enthusiasm..."      
       
         
  "...The Knew wants the crowd to embrace its energy and bask in the glow of its low-tech revelry..."       
 
Albuquerque Alibi- 1.17.08 by Simon McCormick
      
         
  "...adept at Southern rock 'n' blues..."      
       
         
  "......a veritable guide to Denver's quality rock and roll."      
 
ThisWeekInDenver.com- 1.21-1.28, 2007
      
         
  "...they bring an understated southern-rock component...Some slide guitar and tambourine shakes adds a maturity to the live experience, but their modest approachability is what makes them worth leaving your house for...will be sure to impress even the most cynical stylite."
