Knats

Desperate to find yourself a fresh new jazz outfit with sophisticated arrangements, strong melodies & danceable grooves? Then Knats are our top tip for you.

On the back of an incendiary year touring as R&B legend, Eddie Chacon’s, backing band, these talented Geordies experienced a phenomenal word-of-mouth ascent that was topped off by supporting another Geordie (Greep, of black midi). Now, it’s time to unleash their infectious debut album...

Led by two lifelong best friends from Newcastle, Stan Woodward (bass) & King David-Ike Elechi (drums), Knats pride themselves on making "Geordie Jazz". Working with the meticulous folk at Gearbox Records, this Dinked Edition package is a proper celebration of a band on the rise.

“They gleefully rewire jazz with a hard-as-nails rhythm section, drum’n’bass energy and punk aggression.” - The Guardian
