Band of Horses, ‘Knock Knock’ – Song Review
That's it?
After the end of his band Carissa's Wierd, one of the best bands to play during the millennial switch, Ben Bridwell founded Band of Horses, which, since 2004, have become one of the bands currently defining the cacophony of Southern indie rock. They've gone from Sub Pop Records also-rans to releasing 'The Funeral,' as incredible of a song as you'll find in the genre; they've found open arms in the mainstream after being nominated for a Grammy; and they've stirred up a little controversy along the way. (Remember them licensing 'The Funeral' to big, bad Wal-Mart? Bridwell's rant at the cell-phone videographer, captured -- duh -- on film for all to see?)
