Interview @ Best Things You've Never Heard (May The Rock Be With You)

Knyght – how and when did the band come together and what’s the inspiration behind the name?

TOMMY: Actually Knyght were born 7 years ago, a year before me and my brother (Olly, the guitar player) wanted to be football players, but after that summer when IT’S MY LIFE by BonJovi was played by EVERY J-Box on EVERY beach, we changed our mines and changed dreams…..we were 12 and 13 years old and Rock n Roll was everything we were waiting for.

Unfortunately there’s no inspiration behind the name, just 3 stupid 13 years old teens with too many smoke and alcohol in the veins that day to have intelligent ideas for the name…but when we realize that KNYGHT was not a good name for what we wanted to do, it was too late to change it and by the way we attached to our name!

Can you introduce each member of your band and give us a rock "n" roll fact about each of them?

TOMMY: We got Dario on the bass, usually he is the most quiet of the band, but every guy and a girl that was in Barcelona (Spain), when we have played there with Bang Tango, remember him! We had a great show, lots of people and 5 second after the show Dario jump out the stage, run in the backstage full of adrenaline and drunk everything he could from the Bang Tango room, 3 minutes later he was completely drunk screaming in the backstage and when he met the Faster Pussycat drummer he spend 15 minutes with him telling him how they (faster pussycat) were good that night, the problem was that Faster hadn’t played yet that night….

Mr Svarione (drummer) is a sort of "alcoholic snare" guru, he thinks that hitting the drums harder as he can is the only way to play!

The Doc (keyboards)….everybody think that he’s the melody guy, the romantic one….so wrong, he’s the bad boy of the band, he’s got the old school rockstar attitude, he drinks, smokes, fucks, get caught in fight…

Olly is our guitar hero. A cute couple in Germany remember him because during the week we was recording the Ep in Munich, he came back to the Hotel pretty drunk and decided to walk naked through the Hotel until me and Doc realized what he was doing because this kind couple knocked our door and showed us Olly that didn’t know where he was and that was naked….

For the benefit of those who haven't yet heard your music, how would you describe your sound?

TOMMY: We are not one of those bands who think they can change everything or create a new kind of music, we just love music, and love to play it…so if u hear Knyght, you’ll hear a mix of every bands have influenced us served with a special Knyght sauce and a modern touch
