Knox Hamilton, an alternative trio known for their popular track “Work It Out,” have announced their debut EP How’s Your Mind. Produced by Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon, Neon Trees), the four track EP is set for a September 18 release and includes 2014’s second most played song at Alt Nation “Work It Out” with over 3.5 million streams worldwide.
The trio have played at major staged around the country including Bonnaroo, Firefly, Hangout Fest, and Bottlerock. Now, they are packing up again to head out on another tour this fall. Fellow alternative group Civil Twilight tapped Knox Hamilton to join them on the road starting Sept 23 with stops in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and A LOT more. See the full itinerary below.
The myth of Knox Hamilton – the man, not the band – began in a small Arkansas thrift shop where founding members and brothers Boots (lead vocals) and Cobo Copeland (drums) volunteered during their summer breaks. Already at work on their danceable brand of indie-rock anthems, they stumbled onto an old 1970s yearbook one day.
“In it was a picture of one of the most rock ‘n’ roll dudes I have ever seen,” says Boots, lead vocalist, laughing. “And his name was Knox Hamilton. We were searching for what to call ourselves, and it was a no-brainer.”
And in that moment, Knox Hamilton went from man to myth, and from myth to music.
This trio makes their music about the melodies and with that there is something amazing that comes to life. Thos is a band that embraces light and life; that looks to create a mood and drive a feeling, a motion, a moment. To last in your mind, in your gut. “The melodies are what people take with them from the live show and from the recordings. The melodies stay with people for days” says Boots.
