Knock Knock We Will Raise Your Child CD

2012 release from the Sacramento, CA locals. Knock Knock, which is compromised from a pool of other great Sacramento bands such as the Bananas, Rock the Light, the Mega Cools, and Charles Albright (the band, not the dude), keep the Rock n' Roll equation simple: write great songs and play them loud to your friends. After all, it's indie rock, nobody is getting rich in this goddamned economy, so why not have some fun? We Will Raise Your Child, Knock Knock's third record, expands upon their Bruce Springsteen meets Yo La Tengo in a beer garden sound, to add a dose or two of Tom Petty Power Pop to the mix, especially on the kidnapping fantasy of the title track, the paranoid jangle pop of "Those Creeps", and the forbidden love between step siblings saga "Your Mama Raised Me Wrong". While claims of "concept album" may have come from Knock Knock with their tongues planted in their cheeks, the theme of childhood does float throughout the record, albeit a darker childhood - the kind that breeds a Boo Radley or a Charlie Brown.
