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 ↴
And if I could come home it's safe to say
That bombing runs and machine guns would try and beat me back
The world and all it's hatred couldn't keep me off my track
Your all I know
Your all I know
Was it what, was it what you wanted
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
Could be the Queen of Diamonds, but you never kiss and tell
I'll write to you a thousand times but your reply always fails
You know my head becomes so weary
And baby my hands become so cold
So here's just one last note I'll write to you baby
My dear Amelia
Could I be so bold to say
Your all I know
Your all I know
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
Sing it up speak it out so true
I'm still in love, still in love with you
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
And your all I know
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
Sing it up speak it out so true
I'm still in love, still in love with you
And was it what, was it what you wanted
Was it what, was it what you wanted
The lyrics of Mallory Knox's song Q.O.D. tell the story of a soldier who is writing to his beloved named Amelia from war-torn conditions. The soldier first questions if it is wrong to wish for more than just her name, implying that he wants to be with her in person rather than relying on letters. He mentions that if he could come home, the dangers of war could not stop him, as his love for her is strong enough to conquer all of that.
The next few lines express the soldier's weariness, both physically and emotionally. Despite the many times he had written to her, she never replied, leaving him feeling alone and cold. The song ends with the soldier questioning if Amelia ever wanted the same level of commitment, love, and dedication that he had bestowed on her.
The song is a commentary on the difficulties of long-distance relationships, especially during war times. The lyrics showcase the soldier's determination to remain loyal and faithful to his love, even when faced with adversity. The song is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices that soldiers make and the love that they carry in their hearts.
