Knocked Loose offshoot XweaponX digitally released Weapon X Demo 2 earlier this year and it’s getting a vinyl release this August. We’ve got an exclusive “half clear orange/half black with dark blue splatter” vinyl variant with a silk screened b-side, and that’s up for pre-order in the BV shop now and limited to 150. Each record comes with a black dust sleeve and a 24″x24″ insert featuring lyrics, credits, and a full poster on the reverse side.
Writing about Weapon X Demo 2 in Notable Releases, Andrew said: Even as Knocked Loose are bigger and busier than ever, the members still find time for other, smaller projects, like their straightedge metallic hardcore band XweaponX, which features Knocked Loose lead vocalist Bryan Garris on bass, KL guitarist/backing vocalist Isaac Hale on guitar, Dave Baugher on vocals, and Bryan’s brother Trey Garris (also of Gates To Hell) on drums. It’s a thrill when you get to hear Bryan and Isaac’s very recognizable voices in this grittier context, like on recent single “Everybody Breaks,” and Dave’s own ferocious bark is just as commanding. Today they surprise-released a new demo featuring “Everybody Breaks” and four other tracks, including collaborations with vegan straightedge legends Earth Crisis and LA hardcore band Human Garbage. The whole thing is badass, no-bullshit metallic hardcore that sounds built for riotous mosh pits and also sounds pretty damn great coming out of my laptop speakers this morning.
