Union Of Knives - Taste For Harmony


Not often, but just sometimes, the best way to summarise a band is by quoting their own press releases, as lazy as it may seem... i present to you, Union Of Knives...

The music of Union of Knives is a meld of analogue riffs, beautiful voices and guitar abstractions over a dirty backbeat of programmed drums. It was designed to hypnotise and offer a true ode to life in all its dark beauty.

What this translates to (in case you couldnt already guess) is wonderful glorious music.

Their debut album Violence And Birdsong was released last autumn to critical acclaim, and they have an ever expanding fanbase it seems. Still small, yes - but not for all too long i'd guess.

For now however, Union Of Knives remain one of the best kept musical secrets in Scotland.

The aforementioned album Violence And Birdsong is out now in most good record shops. You can also order online here.

You can also find out more album Union Of Knives on their official website, at www.unionofknives.com
