Australian indie-pop, Knievel is Ken Stringfellow (of The Posies) backing band in Australia. Beautiful, imaginative pop for pop freaks and indie rock kids alike.
Editorial review
Hitting their stride after seven years of delivering the goods in the underground, Knievel shines on the understated The Name Rings a Bell That Drowns out Your Voice. Gentle harmonies drift along the lulling and quiet guitars with an easy grace, swirling around the harmonies with a deft simplicity. This is a beautiful slice of indie pop that benefits from a sparse songwriting style that emphasizes the melodies first and the individual instruments second. By cutting the fat, they only enhance the power of the ringing guitars and occasional ethereal strings that drive along the music. Knievel's moody sound calls to mind influences as far reaching as the Posies, Codeine, and Bettie Serveert, but does so with a distinct personal approach that is unmistakably their own. They've always been a dependable band, but The Name Rings a Bell That Drowns out Your Voice marks an artistic step forward that should appeal to fans of solid indie pop. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Knievel last visited the US to play CMJ and a few other low-key shows. At home in Australia they have supported Buffalo Tom, Teenage Fanclub, Luna, Joe Pernice, Chris Knox, The Posies, You Am I and in 2000 they toured with Ken Stringfellow both as his backing band and support act.
Their third record, The Name Rings A Bell That Drowns Out Your Voice has been released in Australia on Architecture Label (Death Cab for Cutie) and Painted Sky in Japan (The Posies and Pedro The Lion). With an American release date set, Knievel will be spending a few months in the U.S. converting fans to the beauty that is The Name Rings A Bell That Drowns Out Your Voice.
A lot to say. The Name Rings A Bell That Drowns Out Your Voice is worth every breath, though. A beautiful, emotive record that captures your imagination and haunting fears, it is a record that somehow brings back all your hidden thoughts and memories and helps you win them once and for all, cleaning house and making room for the future.
