Union of Knives
Union of Knives are a Scottish electronic rock band from Glasgow, a trio consisting of producer and musician Chris Gordon (also known for the band Baby Chaos), programmer Dave McClean and singer Craig Grant.
Described by Time Out magazine as "glacial, epic pop melodies with dark electro detail,"[better source needed] the music of Union of Knives blends electronic and rock forms and draws on influences from Massive Attack and Radiohead,
From live shows in dance clubs and rock venues from Iceland to Japan, their music has taken them to the halls of the Tate Modern and studios in LA. Their songs have had both Radio 1 airplay and use in TV soundtracks for the likes of Grey's Anatomy, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural (American TV series).
Originally active between 2004 and 2009, the band have been on hiatus since but have announced new music is due in 2020..
Chris Gordon and Dave McLean met in the Glasgow bar Nice 'n' Sleazy where Dave was working as a soundman in the venue downstairs and Chris was working at the bar in between producing and touring with other bands.[better source needed] Chris and Dave started working together as producers and engineers on recordings and remixes for the likes of Snow Patrol out of their own studio in Glasgow.
After a while of working together on original material, they met Craig Grant one night at the bar. Craig, originally from Aberdeen, had recently moved to Glasgow and was playing an acoustic night when Dave was doing sound. Chris and Dave invited him to work with them on some tracks they had started, and the success of those sessions become the early incarnation of Union of Knives in 2004.[better source needed]
The original line-up as a trio saw Chris and Craig both sharing lead vocals and guitar duties, with Dave McClean on keyboards.
The first release was a self-titled EP on Stimulus Records in 2005. Soon after the band secured a deal with Relentless Records and released the I Decline EP in April 2006 which picked up favourable reviews in the music press and saw Music Week adding it to their playlist[better source needed] and the NME calling it "Marvellous".[better source needed] DMC described the lead track as "a dance rock hybrid of gigantic proportions."[better source needed]
