Grant Knoche Tackles First Heartbreak in “ANOTHER REASON”

Singer-songwriter and producer, Grant Knoche, continues to take the world by storm as the 16 year old hustler drops his latest single “ANOTHER REASON”. Full of pop hooks and melodies, there’s a blue tone to the song’s core that brings a somber energy to the forefront.

Despite the electronic foundations and driving backbeat, there is no escaping the relationship blues that come the song’s lyrical content. Inspired by his first relationship and heartbreak, the song’s original form was 2am journal entries where he wished his ex-love had done something worse so that he could hate and sever him completely form his life, but clearly he is left with some lingering feelings that are more complicated. “I don’t need another reason to love you” is the titular line that mostly clearly captures the feeling during the chorus.

The song writing is sleek, engaging, and well produced, and at such a young age, it will be exciting to see how Knoche’s career as a musician continues to evolve into his adult years. There are bound to be other firsts, and if the first heartbreak spawned this thoughtful song, there surely more bangers to come as he continues to channel his experiences into his music.

“ANOTHER REASON” is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, SoundCloud, Deezer, Pandora, and TIDAL.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
