Corpse Flower is a femme punk band based in New Haven, CT. Grace Yukich is on lead vocals and guitar, Sarah Dunn on bass, and Kelly Kancyr on drums. Their music expresses traditional punk anger sometimes through humor and whimsy, other times through their enemies' tears.
Pulling as much influence from the punk bands he discovered in his adolescence, as from the '50s rock 'n' roll playing in the house as a kid, Jared Knapik has honed a unique and distinguishable sound all his own. Taking pages from the books of esteemed acts such as Dashboard Confessional and The Gaslight Anthem, Jared's catalog simultaneously sounds familiar and refreshing. His, at times, bashing style of guitar playing paired with personal lyrics breeds a performance that - while not in volume - in spirit, rivals that of a full band. With his 2017 full length LP, More Than You'll Ever Know, laying a solid foundation of touring material, and his follow-up release, 2019's Waiting Me Out, garnering even more praise, Jared's first collection of songs in three years - Never Said - has been highly anticipated and met with further acclaim.
