Japanese psych-rock act DMBQ harnessed the wild-eyed freakout energy of Tokyo's acid rock underground, blending the same overblown sound of that scene with a heavy influence from classic hard rock of Britain and the U.S. Highly active throughout the '90s and early 2000s, the band churned out upwards of a dozen LPs, EPs, and collections of their fuzz-heavy rock, touring constantly and working with both indie and major labels alike. The tragic death of a bandmember while on tour in 2005 preceded a long hiatus, but they would reactivate for the release of 2018's Keeenly, released by superfan Ty Segall on his God? imprint. YR KNIVES is a new group made up of Chicago regulars. Quin Kirchner is an in demand drummer/composer who has played with the entirety of Chicago’s jazz and improvising community as well as various rock bands including Wild Bell. Douglas McCombs plays in the groups Tortoise, Eleventh Dream Day, and a whole slew of others as a leader, collaborator, and sideman, depending. McCombs is on bass in this group. Guitarist Brian Sulpizio’s long running project is Health and Beauty and he’s worked often as a sideman, notably with Ryley Walker. In addition Sulpizio works as a recording, mixing and mastering engineer. Andrew Trim is a first call guitarist and leader/member of the groups Hanami and Retroreflector. None of the above does much to describe the music of YR KNIVES. Diverse and dynamic, maybe best described as eclectic and adventurous guitar music.
