We sound like Rage with less metal and more rock no screaming and alot more Hiphop styled lyrics. We deal with everyday issues, shit we'll all go through someday. Our music sounds like 6 people with 6 completely different takes on music. How about you just listen?
You can buy our tracks digitally at many sites, the most popular being:
We are Know Boundaries, a 6 piece band hailing fom Madison, WI, USA. We focus on energy in our music along with well delivered Hiphop styled lyrics with a rock edge (we call it ULTRA ROCK HIPHOP). We have our own sound but we share your problems. If you want the whole story, here's our official Bio:
In a culture that seems all too content to ignore the atrocities, injustices, and contradictions of the world, Madison, Wisconsin’s KNOW BOUNDARIES assaults the ears of listeners and offers them the opportunity to “eat the red pill” and truly see the reality of the world around them.
By combining the mediums of Hiphop and rock into an organic, modern, tour- de-force, KNOW BOUNDARIES takes listeners on a musical ride exposing them to a wide variety of musical and intellectual influences. Fusing the “boom-bap” of THE ROOTS, the sonic freedom of The Mars Volta, the bombastic energy of ONYX, the intellectual curiosity of Saul Williams, the rawness of Rage Against The Machine, and the fluid creativity of Jack Kerouac, KNOW BOUNDARIES creates a distinctly unique, yet completely accessible sound that is sure to ‘maraud for ears’ at an astonishing rate.
Since forming only a few years ago, response to KNOW BOUNDARIES has been immediate, and their resume abounds with awards and accolades. In only a short time, they have garnered national label interest, received corporate sponsorship through Budweiser’s “True Music” program, showcased at numerous industry conferences, received the Madison Area Music Award for Best Hiphop Group or Artist, & for Madison’s Best Hiphop/Urban Song in 2007 for the live version of "the slingblade" (listen above), and opened up for nationally touring groups such as THE ROOTS, the Black Eyed Peas, Cypress Hill, the Gin Blossoms, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, 3 Days Grace, Caroline Spine,Buckcherry, Fastball, & Something Corporate.
Unlike many genre-blending groups, KNOW BOUNDARIES gets props from both Hiphop and rock camps. The six members of the band are well- educated, articulate musicians that bring their own individual vibes to the table resulting in the one-of-a-kind KNOW BOUNDARIES sound. Think Muse meets Blackalicious, Mars Volta meets Little Brother, Radiohead meets Outkast, and Nine Inch Nails meet THE ROOTS.
If you're into poetry, politics, & music, KNOW BOUNDARIES will more than satisfy.

DOODS! the masters of melody! whats been up? You guys have killer fukin music indeed, to be perfectly honest the only reason i still get on myspace is to hear the myspace versions of "fragile" and "in 3 seconds". don't get me wrong I have all the live versions and all other tracks available for purchase. BUT I need the myspace versions of those songs. I've been holding you guys down blastin Know Boundaries up and down the streets of Killadelphia and Orlando (my respective stomping grounds) niggas are always wantin to know "who the fuck is that??" (in a good way) so I direct them to the site, holdin it down for TRUE artists. all im askin is to own the myspace/studio renditions of those two songs in mp3 format. im more than willing to buy the shit yo, its just those two tracks are too damn good to not make available for purchase you know? thats it.
So keep jammin! keep makin that flame shit! the music industry needs you now more than ever, dont even think about throwin in the towel, people need to know what the fuck art sounds like. too many bad ass underground bands fold and collapse under the pressures of circumstance or industry bool shit. dont go out like that yo!
Know boundaries has no fuckin boundaries! Peace niggs

I belief in artgeneering...the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient wayof using language... the way of light and color... without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes... to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way... natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored... awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe... to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying times, that keep us away from our natural mission... to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace... we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness, to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)
