Davis, CA, pop-punk band
Knapsack's second album has an excellent title and music to match. Sure, this kind of earnest, emotional rock had been done a million times -- particularly by
Samiam, whose Sergie Loobkoff would actually join
Knapsack before their next record -- but the songs and style of Day Three are ultimately quite timeless. The themes -- romance and the loss thereof -- are also fairly typical, but when handled by singer/songwriter Blair Shean's gritty voice and witty pen, they transcend. ~ Josh Modell
