What is KnubDust you might ask??????????????????? KnubDust is the stuff dreams are made of... The reason cops cant take a joke... Sex... Drugs... and Rock N Roll! KnubDust is every step-mother's nightmare and the kid your parents told you not to hang out with when you were younger. KnubDust is that guy that always takes it too far, like slamming your friends fingers in the door and laughing at him.

The band is made up of an Irish-Mexican fire-crotch with a dui, an ex-Fat Camp band geek that rides up and down his driveway talkin to his imaginary friends on the his father's car phone, a sexy redkneck woman AKA Banall AKA Bratwurst and a guy with the hairiest ass this world has ever seen.

In 2004 Embry and Rodriguez took their love for Rock n Roll and set out to create a sound that was missing from todays rock music. After auditioning and performing with several drummers the two found Josh Anna. Annas heavily jazz influenced beats and ensemble techniques provided a unique type of drumming that compliments Rodriguezs blues based guitar riffs and Embrys rough high-pitch style. Nall soon found his way into the band shortly after. Nalls melodic heavy metal sound adds a darker edge to the somewhat softer rock sound the others had created. The quartet practiced tirelessly to mold four very different musical backgrounds into one powerfully addicting sound that is KnubDust.

Since, the group has focused on polishing their sound. KnubDust has taken the emotion of blues, the flow of jazz, the creativity of sixties and seventies hard rock, the energy of heavy metal and the grit of alternative and grunge rock to put forth a sound unlike any other. KnubDust, with the funding of many fans, recorded this sound in its early stages in July of 2005. The self titled album has been independently sold since.

Along with their sound, the band has used their creativity and energy to travel the area establishing a reputation of putting on a solid performance. In efforts to re-create the atmosphere of wild, seventiess rock concerts, KnubDust has caught the ears and eyes of many, which has grown into a strong fan base. The bands live show is based not only on the music but audience interaction as well.

A6.
Q7. Influences
A7. Dane has been heavily influenced by blues and classic rock and it shows in most of his writing. Josh was a very talented jazz drummer long before he ever started picking up rock. Brantley has listened to metal all his life and is shows in his playing. Hunter has taken his techniques from many different genres and created his own style which bears a resemblence to 90's grunge type vocals.
Q8. How long have you played together as a band - or solo artist?
A8. Our first show was a little over two years ago.
Q9. Favorite of your Songs
A9. Our favorite song/s is always what has been written most recently, which at this time would be Sum n' Substance.

A11. Within the next year we hope to build on our fan base, get signed and keep improving as musicians, showmans and writers.
Q12. What is your process of creating a Song?

A12.There is not particular formula to our songs. Many times Dane or Hunter will come in with a riff or chorus and we will build from there. Sometimes someone will come in with an entire song in their head and the rest of the band will make it come to life. It's always different. 
Q13. What keeps you going?

A13. We know its a bit cliche, but we love playing music. The gratification you get when you create something so personal and a stranger can connect with it or just likes the sound of it is. And of course theres nothing like the high you get when you are on stage, adrenaline pumping and you see someone singing along with you.
