Knapsack
1 upcoming show.
Knapsack is an emo/indie rock band formed in 1993 in California by Blair Shehan and Colby Mancasola. The lineup later included guitarist Sergie Loobkoff and bassist Edward Breckenridge. They released three albums—Silver Sweepstakes (1995), Day Three of My New Life (1997), and This Conversation Is Ending Starting Right Now (1998)—and toured with acts such as Pavement and Rocket from the Crypt. The band reunited in 2013 for tours across North America, Europe, and Australia.
Reviews & press
- AV Club ↗ — “A band that walked the line between indie rock and emo, always hinting at a breakout beyond those confines.”
- Vulture ↗ — “The sound of early-aughts pop emo unfolding in early 1997. Had they formed a few years later, Knapsack would’ve been Jimmy Eat World.”
- Vice ↗ — “When it comes to Knapsack, either you love them or they aren’t on your radar. The group lasted from 1993 to 2000 and during that time, they released three flawless albums.”
