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

some news before the new year. wow! we won the cea award. personally i think its because the other bands just didn't give two cents. but after playing music in this town for the past 16 years, damnit, it was a nice and pleasant surprise to win. a special thanks to everyone who voted for us and mr. dan mccabe who pretty much encouraged us, a long time ago, that as young people playing music(notice i didnt say musicians) not having a clue what we aere doing on stage, to keep doing it. you know, we always say we've reached a slow point and then all of sudden, bam! we have some more shows booked. we were so graciously honored to be invited to to play the One More Girl On A Stage benefit, The proceeds will be donated to the Julie Martin Greathouse Memorial Fund. Julie is the young woman killed in the auto accident that left local musician, Chris Walker, Paralyzed. Julie was a case manager for the YWCA and the fund is to help women and children who are victims of domestic abuse. along with that we have some other local shows. we'll be playing with the creation museum at the gypsy hut and rounding out the year with thistle for their 15th, count 'em, 15 year anniversary with a host of other bands. please check out the show dates for details. starting next week, we go back into the studio to record an e.p. split with our good friends hornet from kalamazoo. this should be exciting because from what i understand, it will be available on vinyl, which is always a plus! look for tour dates in support of that release. thanks for reading and most importantly, your support! 12/19/2008 09:00 PM - The Gypsy Hut - with creation museum, fists of love, and the strongest proof.

yup, time for an update. the tour went as expected, some good some bad, but the good ones were great and we met some new friends along the way. we got to play in norwalk, ohio and there are some great bands and people there. if you're in a band i suggest making your way there. we also wanna thank rich and mark at union rock yards in chicago. thanks for the hospitality and the show, it was an awesome time! the tour ended in kalamazoo and you couldn't ask for a more perfect ending. great show with some great friends in a great town, i could go on and on but take a weekend yourself and travel up there. as far as the band's concerned, we've sorta hit a slow point as the holidays are nearing and the weather is changing. we've been nominated for a second year in a row for the cincinnati entertainment awards. hope we can come home with an award this time. we do have a couple shows lined up in dec. and jan. there are talks of tour planned for springtime but nothing has been planned yet. when there is, we will be surto let you know. the album and other merch are definitly still available, if you're interested, please contact us or the record label.
