Backstory:
Knobby Step rose from the ashes of the eclectic London music scene in the early 2010s. The band members – lead vocalist Charlie Franklin, guitar virtuoso Sammy Riggs, bass player Johnny “Fiddler” Fergusson, and drummer Luke “The Rake” Grady – all hailed from different musical backgrounds, yet bonded over their shared love of experimentation and a desire to create something unique. Their paths crossed in a dingy basement during an underground gig, and after hours of jamming together, the four musicians realized they had stumbled upon an unusual, yet harmonious, musical chemistry. Thus, the Knobby Step was born.
They started out playing in small pubs around London, their unusual sound resonating with the more daring aficionados of music. Word about these unconventional musicians soon spread beyond the city borders and, in just a matter of years, Knobby Step was selling out concert halls across Europe.
Genre:
Knobby Step has a unique sound that can best be described as Experimental Folk Rock, with influences from blues, punk, and even a bit of classical music. Their songs typically feature intricate acoustic guitar work, powerful bass lines, and complex drum patterns.
Song Title:
“Embers in the Wind”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1, chords: A, C, G, D)
A C
“Walking on the edge of twilight,
G D
our shadows, they dance and sway.
A C
Lost in this moment, under the moonlight,
G D
our secrets we silently convey.
(Chorus, chords: C, G, D)
C G D
Embers in the wind,
A E F
sparkling in your eyes.
C G D
Our love, it never ends,
A E F
in the echoes of our whispered goodbyes.
(Verse 2, same progression as Verse 1)
Drawing constellations in the night sky,
weaving dreams out of thin air.
In our hearts, a silent lullaby,
a melody only we can share.
Return to Chorus, and repeat for the remaining verses and choruses.

“I absolutely adore Knobby Step! Their unique blend of styles and the authenticity of their lyrics really speaks to me. As someone who has always appreciated more experimental music, I love how they’re never afraid to push boundaries and try new things. I feel like their songs, especially “Embers in the Wind,” perfectly capture the complexity and beauty of life. Plus, they are phenomenal live – their energy is truly infectious!”
