History

Five Knuckle from Bristol, England formed in 1998, playing punk & hardcore influenced by Minor Threat, Refused, Anti-Flag, At the Drive-In and Choking Victim amongst others. Having toured with bands like Link 80 and Capdown they were noticed by London label Household Name Records who have so far released an EP, a split CD with US band Big D and the Kids Table, and Five Knuckle's debut album "Lost for Words, Far from Speechless".

Since then Five Knuckle have hardly been off the road - with shows with The Distillers, Good Riddance, Anti-Flag, Leftover Crack, Ensign and F-Minus through the UK and Europe.

In May 2004 Five Knuckle released their second album, called "Balance". The album is more mature than their previous recordings, faster and tighter and with personal and political lyrics that show a young band at the top of their game.

Five Knuckle split up in July 2005 at the Club U.K in Bristol, supported by Adequate Seven and Fireapple Red.
