There are three artists with the name Knots 1. Knots are a 3 piece Post-Punk Party Band based in Brighton UK. Sometimes minimal, sometimes dissonant, they talk about culture and situations around them, and recycle this back through instruments and voices. For fans of Gang Of Four, Polvo and Wire. 2.

An era in which DJ's compromise their integrity to the will of commercial radio while leading millions of sheep in the monotonous materialistic circles of illusion.
