Last week, Knocked Loose released a new song, ‘Suffocate’ featuring Poppy. The track marks the third single from the hardcore band’s upcoming third album ‘You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To’, which is due for release on May 10 via Pure Noise.
This marks the first time that ‘Suffocate’ has been performed live, as Poppy joined the band onstage in Las Vegas halfway through the track. Watch the performance below.
Elsewhere during their set, Knocked Loose performed a tight career-spanning set that consisted of hits such as ‘Counting Worms’, ‘Everything Is Quiet Now’ and ‘Billy No Mates’.
Prior to releasing ‘Suffocate’, Knocked Loose released the lead single ‘Blinding Faith’ in February to accompany the album’s reveal, followed by ‘Don’t Reach For Me’ in March.
On the Poppy front, ‘Suffocate’ comes after she collaborated with Bad Omens on ‘V.A.N.’ earlier this year. The track marked her first release since dropping her latest album ‘Zig’ in October last year.
NME caught up with Poppy to chat about the album, during which she spoke about the importance of mystery in her music: “I prefer to let people interpret them. I feel like they change meaning over time and sometimes it’s a little bit too personal – not with ‘Motorbike’, that one’s not as close [to me]. But I feel like sometimes it gets a little bit washed out if you over-explain what a song is about to you. Because once it’s out there, it belongs to them, whoever they are.”
