Indie-pop darlings The Strike had quite the surprise for fans with the release of their new single, “Knock Me Out,” only a few days ahead of their upcoming headline tour, the band’s biggest to date. The new track filters through the typical anthem tropes without becoming a cliché mess and further takes the band’s hyper-sonic sound to new heights.
“Knock Me Out” is an uplifting musical experience that should be thrown into your workout playlist ASAP, as the track’s hard-hitting personality proves to be an expert sidekick for your next sweat session.
On the topic of their latest single, The Strike shares, “‘Knock Me Out’ is a song about resilience. It’s about carrying the weight of expectations, self-doubt, and pressure, yet continuing to push forward. Life is full of inevitable setbacks, and it is how we respond to these setbacks that makes up the overall quality of our lives. If you are facing something difficult at this moment, understand that it is temporary. There is no shame in getting knocked down if you continue to get back up and continue to fight.”
The Strike will bring “Knock Me Out” on the road as they gear up for their No Time To Waste Tour, which kicks off June 30 in St. Louis, MO. Further tour date information can be found on their official website. In the meantime, fans can stream “Knock Me Out” across their favorite streaming services.
