Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Knattertones formed in London in the early 2000s, a trio led by Frankie Knight with bassist Andy Jones and drummer Dave Rogers. Their sound mixed ska, punk, and rockabilly. In 2005 they released their debut album 'Wake Up', which included the title track that became their best-known song.
After that initial success, the band went through several lineup changes. Andy Jones left in 2007, replaced first by Richard Franklin and later by Mark Wilson. Dave Rogers departed in 2010, with Mike Mitchell taking over on drums. They kept recording through the next decade, putting out albums like 'Revolution' in 2009 and 'The Sound of Resistance' in 2012.
The Knattertones announced an indefinite hiatus in 2019. Frankie Knight's outspoken lyrics and stage presence drew attention throughout their run, though the exact nature of any controversies isn't detailed here.
