    Knuckle Puck, from left: Kevin Maida (guitar) Ryan Rumchaks (bass), Joe Taylor (vocals), John Siorek (drums), and Nick Casasanto (guitar, vocals) credit:PAX(bands sponsor) Knuckle Puck Releases Their First Debut Album “Copacetic” Maddie Engler October 27,2016 Knuckle Puck is a pop punk band from the suburbs of Chicago, I.L. The band started off as strictly a cover band, but the band started getting a small following and attention from other bands and started releasing their own EPs in 2011. The band has released the EPs While I stay Secluded,Split and the Weight that Buried You. With their fast and aggressive pop punk sound, the band signed with Rise Records and began work on their first studio album along with new bassist Ryan Rumchaks. Frontman Joe Taylor, guitarists Nick Casasanto and Kevin Maida , along with John Siorek on the drums and Ryan Rumchaks on bass,have been taking the pop punk genre by storm. The band started to get a following after they toured with Neck Deep and State Champs. Currently, the band is touring with The Wonder Years in North American. The band released their debut album “Copacetic” July 31, 2015. The word copacetic is defined as “in perfect sequence or order.” In this thematic album, the title Copacetic is ironic considering the content of the album. The whole album has 11 songs, and all of them are about pain, decay,and breakups. The concept of Copacetic irony continues in the lyrics. In the love­lost song Untitled, Taylor sings“you tore me down, I’ll tell you everything is copacetic.

  • Brief History of Rock Music
    Brief History of Rock Music Rock music originated as “Rock and Roll” in America in the 1950s and developed in to many different styles in the 1960s. It is heavily influenced by blues, Rhythm and Blues and country music; however modern bands often stray from these roots and incorporate different sounds and elements. Rock music has branched out and created new genres such as Punk Rock, Electronic Rock, Indie Rock, Grunge and early forms of Heavy Metal. The term was first used as “Rock and Roll” in the 1940s and was created by fusing the various music genres together (called “race music” at the time) such as Rhythm and Blues, Gospel, Country and Western music. Elvis Presley’s “That’s All Right (Mama)” could be considered the first “rock and roll” record. It also popularized the use of the electric guitar with distortion by people such as Chuck Berry and Scotty Moore. The 1960s is considered by many as “The Golden Age” of Rock Music. This is when Rock music skyrocketed into popularity in Britain and America by bands and artists such as The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Deep Purple. The 1970s was named “The Punk Era”. The punk bands at this time created short, stripped down songs with political, anti-establishment lyrics. The sub culture of Punk expressed youthful rebellion, distinctive clothing styles and Anti-Authoritarian Ideologies. In the beginning of the 1980s, punk branched out and evolved into several sub genres of Hardcore Punk such as Grindcore (created by British band Napalm Death), Anarcho Punk (Crass) and Crust Punk.
