An energetic alt-pop gem you’ll want to jam out to all summer long.
Chicago-based alt-pop trio The Knockaround Band is making waves with their vibrant new single, “All Or Nothing.” Known for their electrifying fusion of modern pop-rock, catchy melodies, and driving guitar riffs, the group brings undeniable energy to the alternative music scene.
Formed in 2017 by longtime friends Carleton Koldyke and Julian Stacey, The Knockaround Band built its foundation performing across Chicago’s local circuit. After a brief hiatus, the group relaunched in 2024 with the addition of guitarist Ian Harsh, whose dynamic style has redefined and completed the band’s sound.
Drawing inspiration from acts like Maroon 5, Matchbox Twenty, and The Band CAMINO, The Knockaround Band’s latest release, “All Or Nothing,” encapsulates the thrill and vulnerability of falling into new love. The track’s upbeat blend of infectious guitar work and danceable rhythm lays the perfect foundation for emotionally charged lyrics like: “It’s been a while, since I’ve been this deep / Into the feelings of someone new.”
With its heartfelt storytelling, energetic production, and soaring vocals, “All Or Nothing” is a summer-ready anthem that captures the highs, lows, and butterflies of romantic risk. Whether you’re in love or just love a good pop-rock jam, this track deserves a spot on your playlist.
