  • Knife Party Release 'Trigger Warning' EP Featuring Tom Staar, Jauz

    Australian production duo Knife Party have released their first bit of music in all of 2015. The duo of Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen released their debut album Abandon Ship last year and have been touring constantly on the back of that, but now they have at last finished up a four-track EP Trigger Warning. The EP is a bit different this time because it features a collaboration with Tom Staar and a remix from Jauz.
  • Knife Party Announce New EP 'Trigger Warning', Release Date

    Knife Party has announced that they have a new EP coming out titled Trigger Warning and it will be released in the next 6-8 weeks. That release date is very tentative given their propensity to miss deadlines, like what happened during the Abandon Ship album cycle. However the album did leak several weeks ahead of time, so those two factors might balance each other out.

  • Knife Party's Album 'Abandon Ship' Leaked Early on iTunes [LISTEN]

    There is one last twist in the long and arduous journey for Knife Party's long-anticipated and delayed album "Abandon Ship." Just when it seemed like the album when all set and ready to go with a special marketing plan in place, the album sprung a leak and was put on iTunes three weeks early, causing it to shoot instantly all the way up to No. 3 on iTunes's overall album charts in the United States, No. 2 in Australia and No. 4 in the U.K., according to Mixmag. Often times artists purposefully "leak" songs as a way of building hype for an album for another project, but this appears to be an accident that went well for Knife Party and Big Beat/Atlantic. The album was scheduled for release Nov. 24, the same day as David Guetta's sixth artist album "Listen." A full slate of promos was set up over the next few weeks, including an album premiere on Thump and then a special album feature and interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio One. With the album out now, three weeks early, it does not seem like pre-album marketing is necessary anymore.
