It has been in Michael's heart and mind to create an album that would bring awareness to the overwhelming difficulties that U.S. troops encounter upon returning home from combat, especially Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. PTSD, the leading cause for homelessness as well as alcohol and drug abuse among veterans, is a psychological, as well as neurological disorder, and one that must be dealt with in order for the soldiers to get the treatment that they need, and deserve. This is a heavy subject matter that needs to be addressed and brought to the surface as an honor to those who have served their country. A weighty subject that is pulled to the front line by the heaviest L.S. Underground album to date. Michael feels this is the most important record he has done since "This Is the Healing".

Michael Knott's diverse and evolving career has had (and continues to have) many facets including over thirty five albums, hundreds of original paintings, owning and operating a label (Blonde Vinyl), and thousands of adoring fans who collect his musical and artistic works as soon as they hit the scene. This maverick of talent never seems to run out of inspiration, and it doesn't appear that he ever will. Whether it's touring some two hundred plus days out of the year, or spending time recording and painting, he always comes up with a new view on life, it's characters, as well as its struggles and elations. ______________________________________________________________ Michael Knott's work has been released to the general market via Warner Brothers (Electra Records), and to the gospel market via Word (Metro One Records). Both markets, and fans as well, have had the opportunity to witness some very groundbreaking and independent releases. Audiences and critics on both sides of the fence are united by Michael Knott's ability to tap the well of emotion connecting all of us. ______________________________________________________________ Michael Knott's many recordings are as varied as the many bands he's fronted: Aunt Betty's, Lifesavers, Lifesavers Underground, Cush, Idle Lovell, Strung Gurus, Bomb Bay Babies, the list goes on and on. Most notably are his heart felt solo works where he can take the listener on an emotional journey from the soft drip of a heart, to the full blown rage of a caged soul. Whatever the emotion, thought, or idea this extremly gifted artist conveys to us, the listener, the human experience in fresh and creative ways.
