Knuckle Puck - Copacetic (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Over the last 13 years, Chicago’s KNUCKLE PUCK have seen it all on their rise to becoming one of the most celebrated acts in the modern pop-punk scene: The band’s debut album, 2015’s Copacetic, was hailed an instant classic by fans and critics alike, landing on Loudwire’s list of the 50 greatest pop-punk albums ever and earning the quintet an Album Of The Year nomination at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards.

Since then, follow-ups Shapeshifter (2017) and 20/20 (2020) have further cemented their spot as a captivating live act, on the main stage of the Vans Warped Tour and Slam Dunk and around the world with the likes of Good Charlotte, Mayday Parade and State Champs with an ever-expanding blend of rough-hewn rock, punk ethos, and glassy Midwestern emo.

Through it all, the band (vocalist Joe Taylor, guitarist/vocalist Nick Casasanto, guitarist Kevin Maida, drummer John Siorek and bassist Ryan Rumchaks) have artfully balanced their emotional spectrum, trading in high-tempered and deeply introspective lyricism, yes, but also cutting the tension with an underlying layer of optimism. (Look no further than Copacetic’s crown jewel, the album-closing “Untitled” that found Taylor and Casasanto declaring, “You tore me down/I’ll tell you everything is copacetic.”)

But now, with the release of their fourth LP, LOSING WHAT WE LOVE, Knuckle Puck are done sugarcoating life’s hard truths.

“For a long time, we felt a responsibility to have this overwhelming hopefulness to our lyrics,” Cassasanto explains. “This time around, we started writing more honestly with less intent to sound cool or hopeful. It feels like we’re in a bit of a losing battle with the state of the world, but in the past we’d say, ‘Oh, but it’s all OK!’ Now we’re saying, ‘No, we should be panicking.’ This record feels like more of an expression than a motivational speech.”
