Inspired by real-world events, such as abusive police tactics in the United States and the ongoing genocide in Palestine, ‘Tear it All Down’ serves as a powerful commentary on the pitfalls of greed and corruption. KNARS fearlessly confronts these issues with raw energy and unapologetic defiance, delivering a rebellious outcry against injustice.
But what sets KNARS apart isn’t just their message; it’s their music. Drawing from the classic Gabber style of Dutch early hardcore, KNARS infuses ‘Tear it All Down’ with pulsating breakbeats and intense reese basses that capture the relentless nature of the daily rat race. The iconic ‘hoover’ sound, originating from Dutch Gabber culture, adds a distinctive edge to the track, making it a standout sonic offering.
Accompanying the single is a music video that further emphasises the urgency and importance of KNARS’ message. Through captivating imagery and visceral storytelling, KNARS invites viewers to confront harsh realities and join the fight for a more equitable world.
As KNARS prepares to unleash ‘Tear it All Down,’ they invite listeners to join them in standing up against oppression and working towards a future where all voices are heard and valued.
