Formed in the summer of 2004 by Jared Palazzolo and Anthony Marquez, Knock-Out rose from two passions: a love for Music and a love for the vibrant Southern California music scene that has served as a foster family for so many. Hailing from Riverside, California. A well-known breeding ground for such acts like; Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Skeletones, Alien Ant Farm, and the Bellrays. They remain true to the sounds that inspired them as they grew up, blending Punk, Ska, Reggae, and dub-style Hip-Hop into a potent brew that shatters barriers at the same time it unites crowds.

  They have toured and played with most of the Idols they grew up listening to, which now include; RANCID, FISHBONE, VOODOO GLOW SKULLS, THE MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES, THE VANDALS, GUTTERMOUTH, THE EXPENDABLES, AUTHORITY ZERO, and MUSTARD PLUG to name a few. They aren’t just living the dream; they are bringing it to your town.
