Knife The Symphony is back with their second release - Crawler. The band features former members of Ampline (Shake It Records/ Tiberius Records) and Theraphosa (Phratry). Formed in January 2006, Jeff Albers, Robyn Roth and Phratry label-owner Jerry Dirr quickly began writing and recording. By late Summer/early Fall of ‘06 the band had already managed to complete their self-titled EP, begin promotion of the record and play a string of tour dates. In true DIY spirit, there’s been no time wasted. Just a sincere energy and desire to write, record and play.

KTS is influenced by art, skate culture, film and music. Musically, the band’s influences range from early American punk-music to hardcore/post-hardcore as well as metal, world music and straight-ahead rock. Now in their 30’s, the band members grew up listening to anything they couldčthe first sounds ever heard on MTV in the early 1980’s to reggae, releases on Dischord, SST, Touch & Go (and everything in between). It all comes out in their own music
