Knight's Move Thinking have been around in one form or another, formerly under the name of Halcyon, since roughly 1998 (we think). Only 2 original members survive; Mike, who was initially on lead guitar and Alan on lead vocals & guitars, with the legend that is Robbie joining on bass in 2001. After various drummers came and went Mike took up the mantle of sticksman, as we realised that really we've kinda been a three piece all along...
BBC Radio Bristol Introducing on Loopholes: "...rather epic..."
One review described our sound as "...understated urgency...". If anybody has any idea what the f*ck that means, we're all ears :)
The music is written by all three of us, to various degrees.
A
4 track EP, titled Call Signs, it provides the perfect introduction to
the band prior to the release of their debut album, Grappling Hooks, in
early 2010.
We realise how this is quite obviously automated and you will probably consider it as spam and ignore it.. but if you are feeling the need for a some fresh new music please visit our page and give our new EP a listen. We've worked really hard on it and had some excellent feedback so far and would love to hear what you guys think.
"Exciting, Striding and assured. It has an energy reminiscant of everything that was good about the Klaxons debut album.." - BBC Radio Bristol.
"The overall sound echoes that of Bloc Party but with great conviction and sophistication. Go see them live if you can." - iTunes review.
It's also available to buy through our website and itunes if you really do like it.
On the A-side you have the sounds of Erb n Dub’s alter ego, Drum Addict with ‘Here Dis’ whilst on the flip up & coming producer Dose teams up with D-Tox to bring you ‘Rat Bastard’

In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.
This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.

Hope you like it, and hope you.. well.. get what we're doing/where we're coming from etc. !
