The Knutz’s brand new release, the ‘We are the Monsters’ album. At this time, it’s possible to notice psychobilly influences like on the title song, where alternative worlds are ironically explored again on an attempt to understand the nature of the band members’ ghoulish souls. Following the same music line, there’s the funny ‘BBBatz’, an innocent joke that doesn’t leave anybody’s head easily. On the other hand, visions of destruction and disorder are compiled on the epic ‘Where the souls dance free’, a progressive deathrock with that sarcastic aura of the prominent ‘Ghost Dance Party’ song. Back to our current reality, political lyrics discuss society corruption on the powerful somber post-punk ‘Right or Wrong’. Moreover, electronic synths and a distorted psychedelic bass drive the insane ‘Living in a Nightmare’, proving once again the group is not afraid of trying new ways to expose their disturbed thoughts. In addition, the gloom duet on ‘Lady Shadow’ shows the band maturity, while describing a fictitious attractive character as a way to suggest how evil seduces the mankind. After all, this album, through 12 spooktacular songs, demonstrates to any rock fan that there’s still too much to be created in this new dark music age.

“Great psychobilly spooky vocals from Daniel, tight
drums and bass pound against frenzied ghoulish guitars and epic spooky synths. Love it! Destined to be a classic!
”
WORDS ABOUT ‘WE ARE THE MONSTERS’ SONG, BY DJ DE’ATH BLACK VEILED GOTHIC (2015)


9 - The Knutz - Apple Sour Girl

Caderno Amarelo é uma banda de Pouso Alegre, Sul de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Bebe de várias vertentes, sons tribais regionais, do brejo ao shopping, expressa a própria dicotomia existente entre o caipira, o urbano, o tribal, o globalizante, a terra, o espaço, amor e ódio, força e fraqueza, passado, presente e futuro, e ao mesmo tempo busca o caminho do meio, a mistura, a hibridez cultural entre tudo isso. Letras vindas da poesia marginal até a construção dialética das letras mais atuais com a própria musicalidade, que tentam captar e emanar um olhar mais filosófico, poético, visceral, com as influências do rock, rap, blues, punk, soul, música mineira, mangue beat e tanta coisa que temos no menu, rs. 
"Antropo Rock do Mandú, central do Vale do Sapucaí, terra que alaga, alaga a gente de idéias e transforma vida em música, na roda com amigos e gentes boas, sem deixar a essência da resistência, de olhos rente ao que acontece nessa esfera mar."       

Integrantes: Éderson Brandão, Pedro Dias, Ricardo Magrão, Alex Grego
