Union of Knives are a Scottish electronic rock band from Glasgow, a trio consisting of producer and musician Chris Gordon (also known for the band Baby Chaos), programmer Dave McClean and singer Craig Grant.
Described by Time Out magazine as "glacial, epic pop melodies with dark electro detail,"[1][better source needed] the music of Union of Knives blends electronic and rock forms and draws on influences from Massive Attack[2] and Radiohead,[3]
From live shows in dance clubs and rock venues from Iceland to Japan, their music has taken them to the halls of the Tate Modern[4] and studios in LA. Their songs have had both Radio 1 airplay[5] and use in TV soundtracks for the likes of Grey's Anatomy,[6] The Vampire Diaries[7] and Supernatural (American TV series).[8]
Originally active between 2004 and 2009, the band have been on hiatus since but have announced new music is due in 2020..
