"'True Contrite,' in my humble opinion, is easily one of my favorite songs we have written so far," shares guitarist Kevin Maida. "I feel like it withholds a lot of familiar elements of our band, while still showcasing a different perspective from what we've done musically in the past. This was the first song we wrote and worked on together for Copacetic, so we are very pleased to finally show you what it sounds like."

On Copacetic (named one of the Most Anticipated Albums of 2015 by Alternative Press), the band set out to flip the script on what's expected from Knuckle Puck without losing sight of the foundation that's converted thousands of devoted fans around the world: rough-around-the-edges urgency buoyed by vocalist Joe Taylor's explosive, gritty vocals.

The name, Copacetic, was plucked from a lyric on the album's sprawling 7-minute closing track, "Untitled." Copacetic is a title that might sound vaguely beatnik, but it's entirely applicable to the charge set forth on the album's 11 songs.

"When we thought of the album title, we thought it was a way to say, 'OK, here's an album of things I'm upset about and hurt over,'" says guitarist Nick Casasanto. "But at the end of the day, everything's fine, everything's copacetic, because you have to look at what you do have. I think it's important, especially in this scene, not to magnify depression and wear it like a badge. You should use music to feel better."

It's this refreshing sense of perspective, along with a fire-charged pop-punk sound, that has helped set Knuckle Puck on a rapid trajectory over the past few years. Breaking from Chicago's southern suburbs in 2011, the band - Taylor, guitarists Casasanto and Maida, bassist Ryan Rumchaks and drummer John Siorek - are regarded as one of the genre's hottest up-and-coming acts, as seen on tour with the likes of The Maine, Real Friends, Modern Baseball, and Senses Fail.

Copacetic will be released July 31, 2015 via Rise Records.
