KNIVES OUT! Announces Hometown Show

April 6, 2010

KNIVES OUT!, the new Baltimore, Maryland-based project featuring current/former members of HELLYEAH, NOTHINGFACE, DOG FASHION DISCO and POLKADOT CADAVER, will perform at the Ottobar in band's hometown on April 17.

"April 17th will be our first show performing without Tom [Maxwell, guitar], who is busy with HELLYEAH," states guitarist Jasan Stepp. "Tom is still a member of KNIVES OUT!, which is why we have chosen to not have some guy come in to play his parts. It has taken a ton of practice and a pretty elaborate, multi-amplifier guitar rig to make this a one-guitar band, but we feel like it has worked incredibly well. Adding another personality to our band didn't seem like the right thing to do."

KNIVES OUT! recently finished recording its debut album at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore. The CD is currently being shopped to interested labels for release in late 2010. The band independently released a four-song EP, "Rough Cuts", online through iTunes and digital retailers earlier this year.

"The new album is our crowning achievement and exactly what we set out to be and sound like," says vocalist Todd Smith. "Heavy with groove and full of melody, KNIVES OUT! is a fresh, unique and completely original force ready to lead the heavy hard rock genre into the future."

Formed in 2008, the group says, "It isn't pretty and it isn't safe. In a world of copy cat bands KNIVES OUT! stands up to deliver to the world a breath of fresh air to a stagnant, plagiaristic genre. Go hard or go home...horns up and KNIVES OUT!"

KNIVES OUT! is:

Todd Smith (DOG FASHION DISCO, POLKADOT CADAVER) - Vocals
Jasan Stepp (DOG FASHION DISCO, POLKADOT CADAVER) - Guitar
Tommy Sickles (NOTHINGFACE) - Drums
Dave Cullen (POLKADOT CADAVER) - Bass
Tom Maxwell (HELLYEAH, NOTHINGFACE) – Guitar
