Knife The Symphony has toured quietly, albeit steadily, for nearly 10 years. In that time, the band has consistently released energetic, abrasive, rhythmic-work garnering comparisons to Hüsker Dü, Drive Like Jehu, Jawbox, and Unwound. The band owes a considerable debt to Dischord, SST and Touch & Go.

Kentucky's Smoke Signals… combine the splintering attack of Midwest hardcore and the delicate compositions of progressive rock and post punk.
