Brutal Knights are a Canadian punk band formed in 2006 in Toronto. The band has been described as having a "raw" punk rock-and-roll sound reminiscent of early-1980s hardcore. Brutal Knights are also known for their humorous lyrics, written by vocalist Nick Flanagan.[1] Flanagan is also a comedian, and sometimes performs stand-up at their shows. According to Flanagan, guitarist Jon Sharron writes most of the music.[2]
Brutal Knights, along with Fucked Up, Career Suicide, and Terminal State, are part of a burgeoning hardcore punk scene in Toronto which has been the subject of recent attention.[3] In 2006 they were voted "Best Punk Band" by Toronto’s Now Magazine.
The Brutal Knights played their final show in December 2010, in Montreal, Quebec.
