The Holy Knives
A gritty blend of blues, post-punk, and gothic soul — The Holy Knives deliver two releases that hit hard, haunt deep, and somehow make housecleaning an emotional experience. This is alt-blues for the modern age, and it’s absolutely worth the spin.

Signal Drift: Chapter 22
“Going kinetic!” Cronauer roared. With a 600-pound BMW GS as his projectile and an AR-15 snapped from its scabbard, he dives into the chaos of the Coon Valley creamery to protect the only assets the “auditors” haven’t yet bled dry.

Signal Drift: Chapter 20

The world turned a grainy, glowing green. He hit the ignition. The boxer twin hummed low. He scrolled the iPod wheel to Queensrÿche’s Empire. As the opening bass line of ‘Best I Can’ slammed into his ears, he clicked the visor shut and kicked the GS into gear. He didn’t turn on the lights. He just leaned into the darkness and vanished into the treeline.
