What happens when you smash progressive metal and punk into shred guitar and post rock? You get Lord Muck that’s what!! Neil (guitar, vox) and Qu (bass) both cut their teeth on the Beijing punk scene, but they never met until they moved to London. Then they did meet, and lo… Lord Muck was born.

Bluntknees are a London trio making heavy, piano-driven alternative rock with no guitars.
