Another year of Grammy Award nominations, another year of Louisville’s music scene getting national recognition.
Louisville-area hardcore punk band Knocked Loose — technically they’re from Oldham County, but we’ll let that slide — is up for a Grammy this year, nominated for Best Metal Performance for their single, “Suffocate.”
The song is featured on their album, “You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To” which was released in May 2024, peaking at No. 23 on the US Billboard 200.
It’s the 11-year-old band’s first Grammy nomination, placing them among legendary acts like Judas Priest + Metallica who were also nominated.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will be held in Los Angeles in February.
Bonus: If Knocked Loose brings home the trophy, it would be the second-straight year that a local act took home a Grammy — Louisville Orchestra director Teddy Abrams reeled in a win last year.
