In the heart of Dallas, Texas, the pulsating beats of hardcore resonated through The Factory in Deep Ellum as Knocked Loose took the stage for a momentous night celebrating their forthcoming album, 'You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To.' The air was tense with anticipation as fans gathered to witness what would be a historic performance for the band.

With special guests Loathe, Show Me The Body, and Speed warming up the crowd, the atmosphere crackled with energy. Each act brought their own unique flair to the stage, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening of raw intensity and unbridled passion.

Speed took the stage and quickly sprung into some of the highest energy I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing getting the show off on the right foot. This being their first ever US tour, it was a wild ride as they got the crowd moving. From jumps to two-stepping they encapsulated what hardcore was all about.

Loathe was soon to take the stage and them being a band that was a highly recommended one by many of my peers. Jumping straight into it, they did not disappoint. Their vocalist Kadeem France was not shy with his vocal range and talent. From clean to screams in the matter of seconds was an experience. Excited to hear more from them.

Direct support, Show Me The Body, was set to go on next. One of the more interesting performances with 3 members, an electric banjo, and keys made for a unique sound. But with that said, it was a very fun set to witness. The facets of hardcore music span so wide that you never know what you are going to get.

And finally, as Knocked Loose made their grand entrance, the venue erupted into cheers and applause. It was evident from the outset that this would be a show unlike any other. The band wasted no time diving headfirst into their set, unleashing a relentless onslaught of blistering riffs and guttural vocals.

One couldn't help but be swept up in the sheer ferocity of their performance. The energy was infectious, spreading like wildfire throughout the crowd. Bodies surged forward, pressed against the barricades in a desperate attempt to get closer to the stage. And as the music reached its peak, some even took matters into their own hands, leaping over the barricade and onto the stage to join in the chaos. And amidst the sea of bodies, one daring individual even managed to pull off a front flip off the stage, much to the awe of onlookers.

For Knocked Loose, this was more than just another show. It was a milestone in their journey, a testament to their unwavering dedication and the unyielding support of their fans. And as they stood before the largest headline crowd they had ever played to, it was clear that their passion had touched the hearts of many.

In the end, Knocked Loose's show in Dallas, Texas, was more than just a concert – it was a testament to the enduring spirit of hardcore punk and the unbreakable bonds forged through a shared love of music. And as we filed out into the night, hearts still pounding with the rhythm of the music, we carried with us memories that would last a lifetime.
