Editor's note

The Young Knives' sharp, offbeat indie rock

An English band with angular guitars and cryptic lyrics, keeping the same lineup for years.

For their mix of energy and cryptic wit, start with 'The Decision' and 'Another Hollow Line'. That's the band in a nutshell.

They arrived in 2006 with 'Voices of Animals and Men', and the single 'The Decision' got real traction on indie radio. Their sound was always a mix of punk energy and art-rock leanings, never polished for the mainstream. Songs like 'Tremblings Of Trails' and 'Fit 4 U' show they kept that sharp, offbeat style right through to 2019's 'Sick Octave'.

They formed around 2001 in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, with the Dartnall brothers at the core. After their debut, they played shows supporting Arctic Monkeys and The Killers, then released six albums that shifted between guitar-driven rock and some electronic touches.

Archive material and source history

The Young Knives formed in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, England around 2001, with brothers Henry, Simon, and Richard Dartnall joined by guitarist Ali Young. Their debut album 'Voices of Animals and Men' came out in 2006, and its single 'The Decision' got attention on indie radio. They played shows supporting Arctic Monkeys and The Killers around that time.

Their sound had angular guitars and cryptic lyrics, with songs like 'Another Hollow Line' and 'Weekends And Bleak Days (Hot Summer)' showing their mix of punk energy and art-rock leanings. They released six studio albums, including 'Superabundance' and 'Ornaments', which shifted between guitar-driven rock and some electronic touches.

The band kept the same lineup for years, with the Dartnall brothers at the core. They put out 'Sick Octave' in 2019, and tracks like 'Tremblings Of Trails' and 'Fit 4 U' continued their style of sharp, offbeat indie rock without much concern for mainstream polish.
