About Knuckle Puck

Knuckle Puck formed in the Chicago suburbs in 2010, arriving at a moment when pop punk was finding new life through bands working with genuine emotional texture rather than pure nostalgia. The band built a following through relentless touring and a handful of EPs that showed real songwriting chops. Their 2015 debut Copacetic announced them as one of the stronger voices in contemporary emo-adjacent rock, trades in the kind of detailed lyrical specificity and melodic hooks that make songs stick around. Tracks like "Stuck in Our Ways" and "True North" showcase their ability to balance catchy chorus moments with lyrics about relationships and self-doubt that feel earned rather than performed. They've spent most of their career in that productive middle ground where devoted fans show up, critical attention is solid, and they're building something real without needing to break through to mainstream recognition.

Their shows draw sing-alongs from people who've memorized the lyrics, but it never feels like a victory lap. The band stays locked in throughout, playing with the kind of focused energy that respects the crowd without overselling anything. Solid rooms, genuine connection.

Known for Stuck in Our Ways, Don't Come Home, Swimming, Lose You, True North

Knuckle Puck + New York

Knuckle Puck's May show at Warsaw felt like a band working through something. They opened with 'Wall to Wall (Depreciation)' and spent the evening diving into their catalog's darker corners — 'Poison Pen Letter' landed with real weight, and the deep cut 'Stationary' showed they're not just leaning on singles. By the time they hit 'The Tower' midway through, the room had locked in. They closed with 'No Good,' which felt less like a victory lap and more like honest reckoning. It's the kind of set that sticks around.
