STRUTTER' ZINE

RATING:  7.8/10

KNYGHT is a band from Italy formed back in 2002 when the age of the members was at an average of 13 years (!). Now 7 years later they have released their first official recording, the mini-CD ‘Bet everything’, which contains 5 tracks and was produced by German producer HEIKO HINZE (MOTLEY CRUE, METAL CHURCH, TOM JONES). The music of KNYGHT is 80s influenced Glamrock/Melodic Hardrock sounding like a mix between BONFIRE and POISON, yet vocally with an accent, although the band’s singer also reminds me of BRETT MICHAELS of POISON. Without a doubt, the band shows they have the power to move on to greater things in the future. For now they are not as good as other young newcomer bands such as STURM UND DRANG, BLACK TIDE and KISSIN’ DYNAMITE I am afraid, but the first step is always hard and with ‘Bet everything’ they are starting up quite nicely already with as highlight on their first CD the closing track “Shut up”, a good uptempo melodic rocker with interesting tempo changes and great instrumental breaks.
