It's all in the eye of the beholder. If there is a need to label our music - which we by no means find necessary - it's up the listener, fan or critic to be the self annaounced judge. Music is about expressing and experiencing, with or without labels. There's no escaping categorizing or stereotyping, but in the end it's only rock n' roll.
Life is rock n' roll

“… This album won't leave lovers of quality rock unmoved. It is just so tight, intense, messy, expressive, powerful, explosive…”
"" AMONG THE VULTURES Review - Nyaskivor.se - Sweden
THE KNOCKOUTS – AMONG THE VULTURES is something rare;
highly addictive songs that fuse rockabilly technique with the unstoppable force and heart of cocky punk rock, in a unique way that we've never heard before!
With faith in Punkrock since 1996. Johan Frandsen (lead vocals/guitar), Ted Jergelind (drums) and Ken Stone (upright bass) creates the missing link between the Stray cats and Green Day - incredible musicians, astonishing songwriting, good looks & extraordinary live performances!
The singer, guitarist & frontman Johan Frandsen, also played world famous rockabilly band The GO GETTERS. His guitar playing gave them an extra injection of energy in over 300 gigs world wide. Head lining the well known Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, playing with members of the Stray Cats, Guana Batz, Mad Sin and more, are just a few things worth mentioning.
Endorsement deals from Jam Music and Peerless Guitars sees a trademark white guitar appear on stage and during the summer of 2009 THE KNOCKOUTS have been on the festival bill with SOCIAL DISTORTION, THE LIVING END among others and have played sold-out shows all around Europe.
AMONG THE VULTURES, was recorded and produced in 6 days at The Panic Room, Skara, Sweden.
“… This album won't leave lovers of quality rock unmoved. It is just so tight, intense, messy, expressive, powerful, explosive…” Supporting THE LIVING END on their first Scandinavian Tour Date for the Raise the Alarm World Tour – in Stockholm Sweden .The band is screaming headlong into multiple high energy gigs with their 2009 – 2010 tour scheudle including Scandinavia, Europe and USA.
The KNOCKOUTS will be setting up the boxing ring and looking to see you soon. The rockabilly roots and cocky punkrock attitude just keep heating up into a slick, fat sound that will ensure these guys become massive....
Watch out, These boys play it HARD and play it LOUD: So prepare to be Knocked Out!

“There´s no escaping categorizing or stereotyping, but in the end it´s only rock´n´roll”, har The Knockouts skrivit på sin fina myspacesida. Yeah, right! Rock´n´roll är vad det handlar om, även om jag i egenskap av musikskribent ju gärna vill kategorisera och då vill kalla den fantastiska, högenergiska musik de åstadkommer rockabillypunk. Basen finns i 50-talet, sen tillkommer det flyhänta öset och underbara slamret. The Knockouts är en trio: Johan Frandsen på gitarr och sång, Ted Jergelind trummor och sång. Tillkommer Ken Stone som trakterar ståbas och sång, även han.
Nya skivan Among the Vultures innehåller, på något spår när, idel höjdarnummer och lämnar garanter
Hi Knockouts, vielen Dank für die Freundschaft. Hat mich sehr gefreut. Eure Songs finde ich super. Am besten gefallen mir "Under The Light", "Passed By" und "The Chimneys Of Chemnitz". Mein Favorit ist "Ever Been Hurt". Liebe Grüße von der Nordsee, Karsta
Otroligt bra lirat igår, hörni och nya skivan låter grym! :) Blev skitglad när jag såg att ni sålde den, trodde man skulle vara tvungen att vänta till 27:e.
Thanks for swingin' by. Hope you like our tunes as much as we like yours. Nov 11 with that stout Melbourne band The Living End eh? That should be a ripper show.
