1.) Forming late 2009, Mallory Knox (UK) initially formed as a creative outlet for the 5 members of the band. Collaborating their various influences, Mikey, Sam, Joe, Dave and James set about writing music that they wanted to hear themselves.
After three months of writing, the band began to play shows and establish their name in the local music scene. After quickly establishing a loyal fan base, Mallory Knox went into the studio to record their debut EP, entitled “Pilot”, with Dan Lancaster (We Are The Ocean, Lower Than Atlantis, Proceed) at Studio Glasseye. The release of Pilot a few months later built the boys fan base and reputation further and gained them substantial notice within the industry.
After signing with SGR management (Stuart Gili-ross from Gallows) MK quickly became more than a local hometown band; playing across the country on their first tour with Never Means Maybe, as well as being endorsed by Rockstar energy drink. The recent release of their first video “Oceans” which reached as high as number 2 in the most requested Scuzz chart, as well as a number of tours to be annonced for the first quarter or 2011, sets Mallory Knox up for both a productive and exciting end to their first full year as a band.

Mallory Knox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's sitting sad & all alone & faking smiles to pretend
But there's a tiny little glimmer in the back of his mind that's going down, down, down
But not this time
And then he tripped & he fell & found himself in a hole
He felt like he was crushed from all the weight of the world
But there's a tiny little glimmer in the back of his mind that's going down, down, down
So shine a light to the land my lover I'll be holding on to you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight
So shine a light to the land my lover I'll be holding on to you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight, tonight
There once was a man who woke to find himself dead
Walking sad & all alone to find his way home again
But there's a tiny little glimmer in the back of his mind that's going down, down, down
Can't leave this time
So shine a light to the land my lover I'll be holding on to you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight
So shine a light to the land my lover I'll be holding on to you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight, tonight
So shine a light to the land my lover i'll be holding on to you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight
So shine a light to the land my lover i'll be holding on to you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight, tonight
There once was a man who held a gun to his head
He's sitting sad & all alone & faking smiles to pretend
But there's a tiny little glimmer in the back of his mind that's going down, down, down
The lyrics of Mallory Knox's song "Glimmer" tell the story of a man going through tough times, fighting with his inner demons. The first verse describes a man holding a gun to his head, pretending to be fine, but there is a tiny glimmer of hope in his mind that is slowly fading away. In the second verse, the man has fallen into a hole, and the weight of the world is crushing him. Again, there is a glimmer of hope. The chorus repeats the lines "Shine a light to the land, my lover, I'll be holding on to you; you'll be fine on your own tonight, tonight," emphasizing the importance of having someone to hold onto during dark times.
The final verse has a twist, as the man is now dead, walking alone and sad, trying to find his way home. However, this time, the tiny glimmer of hope has grown stronger and won't let him leave. The song's message is clear - even when things seem dark, there is always a glimmer of hope to hold onto, and having someone to hold onto makes it easier to get through tough times.
