Knocked Loose offshoot XweaponX return with “Everybody Breaks”

XweaponX is the Louisville straightedge band that includes Knocked Loose members Bryan Garris and Isaac Hale on bass and guitar, respectively, plus vocalist Dave Baugher and Bryan’s brother Trey Garris (also currently of Gates To Hell) on drums. Having released a demo in 2022 and a split EP with World of Pleasure in 2023, they just returned with new single “Everybody Breaks.” Recorded by Isaac and then mixed and mastered by Zach Tuch, it’s a no-nonsense metallic hardcore rager and it’s a thrill to hear the way Dave’s commanding bark mixes with the instantly-recognizable backing screams of Bryan and Isaac. Check it out below.

XweaponX will play hometown festival LDB Fest in April, and they were also just announced for Sound and Fury, which Knocked Loose headlines.
