    A Great Day In Newcastle is a big compositional leap, boldly examining poverty, prison and crime via action-packed sonic fizz-bombs. [Apr 2026, p.91]

    The key difference to Knats’ self-titled debut, which was released in 2025 and dealt in similar jazz fusion trappings, is A Great Day in Newcastle’s scope and ambition. Here, the group marries jazz-kid experimentalism with taut punk, sprawling worldbuilding, and social commentary.

    This is an album to get lost in. Lost in the killer melodies, time signatures and rhythms. Lost in the stories but most importantly a place to lose yourself from the grind of work. Do give yourself a great day and give this a play.
