Wreaking havoc with their fourth Small Stone release, Sasquatch lead the way with their fiery brand of rock n' roll. You'll hear 70's hard rock mixed with a dash of metal carried by an unmistakable undercurrent of psychedelic sounds which permeate their songs. The band was formed in Los Angeles in 2001 by Philadelphia transplant Keith Gibbs (guitar, vox) and Detroit natives Rick Ferrante (drums) and Clayton Charles (bass). Upon Clayton’s departure in 2007, the guys recruited Chicagoan Jason Casanova (ex-Tummler, Volume) to join the fold. Drawing on influences from 70's metal, rock, and psychedelia, the band falls somewhere between an amalgamation of Black Sabbath, old Soundgarden, Deliverance-era Corrosion of Conformity, Mountain, and a bastardized version of Grand Funk Railroad. Their songwriting approach is clear; keep the focus on the hook.

The band’s newest album “IV” was just released on Small Stone Records in September 2013. What fans will hear is arguably the power trio’s most mature, inspired and diverse song-set to date, chunked with compositional twists, both heartwarmingly familiar and totally unexpected, plus thundering power chords, sizzling solos, shrewd melodic flights and even super-trippy moments – but all of it heavy on the heavy, as they say…always. Unprecedented attention was also devoted to spinning engaging new yarns out of those evergreen rock and roll stories about love lost, hate found, relationships built and lives trashed, homes wrecked, etc. All’s fair in Love and Doom.

The band’s music has been featured on a variety of movies and television shows including FX’s original hit series Sons of Anarchy, A&E's Dog The Bounty Hunter, Jersey Girl, CW’s The Supernatural, and MTV’s Viva La Bam, Bam’s Unholy Union, Rob and Big, and the reissue of Clerks. They can also be heard on a number of video games including NHL 2005, American Chopper, and Monster Garage.

Sasquatch 1 (2004)
By Clayton Charles, Keith Gibbs and Rick Ferrante

Well i see it's indecision
But i just can seem get back to my old ways
With sentional supervision
I sting my new religion in my veins
In my veins

In my veins Yeah!
In my veins

Came you one (million) reasons
In a world of changing seasons fill my head
Well you now when you feel lonely
But you know you my wanted only friend
Lonly friend
Lonly friend Yeah!
Lonly friend

You've been in a hope I don't ever grow old
You've been in a hope I don't ever grow old
Never grow old
Don't ever grow old

(You) Might say you're always jaded
But you know your sold this lately and build my head
Lost a Chance You want to free you
But you said you try to breaktrought another ways

Another ways
Another ways Yeah!
Another ways

You've been in a hope I don't ever grow old
You've been in a hope I don't ever grow old

Never grow old
Don't ever grow old

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sasquatch's song "Knuckle Down" touch on themes of indecision, change, and longing for connection. The first verse describes the singer's struggle to return to their "old ways" despite feeling a new sense of purpose and belief coursing through their veins. The chorus introduces the idea of a "lonely friend," someone who is valued above all others but still leaves the singer feeling isolated. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges their weariness and cynicism but also expresses a desire to break free and find a new path forward. The repeated refrain of "you've been in a hope I don't ever grow old" speaks to a fear of stagnation and a longing for constant evolution and growth.

Line by Line Meaning

Well i see it's indecision
I recognize that I am indecisive

But i just can seem get back to my old ways
However, I am struggling to return to the way things used to be

With sentional supervision
Under the watchful eye of my senses

I sting my new religion in my veins
I inject my new belief system into my being

In my veins
Literally, it is in my bloodstream

Came you one (million) reasons
You provided me with countless reasons

In a world of changing seasons fill my head
In a constantly changing world, you are always on my mind

Well you now when you feel lonely
You understand how it feels to be lonely

But you know you my wanted only friend
But I want you to know that you are my only desired friend

Lonly friend
My solitary friend

You've been in a hope I don't ever grow old
You wish that I never age

Never grow old
Stay young forever

Don't ever grow old
Please don't grow old

(You) Might say you're always jaded
You could argue that I am always cynical

But you know your sold this lately and build my head
But you understand that I have become invested in this new mindset

Lost a Chance You want to free you
Missed opportunities make you want to break free

But you said you try to breaktrought another ways
But you are trying to find a different way to break free

Another ways
An alternative method
