Applied Knowledge -- Half of Everything Else CD
Decades in DC and Philly bands. Lyrics shaped by James Ellroy’s gritty prose. A sound that’s post-punk by effect, not design.
Half of Everything Else is the debut LP from Applied Knowledge, a band of lifers making music not to chase trends, but because they still have something to say. Recorded by J. Robbins (Jawbox) at Magpie Cage and mastered by Dan Coutant at Sunroom Audio, this twelve-song record is sharp, lived-in, and loud in all the right ways.
Original artwork by Dusty Summers.
For fans of: Fugazi, Mission of Burma, Wire, The Fall, and the first time you realized post-punk could still punch
