Biography

One year since forming, and with numerous shows already under their belt including a sold-out headline debut, The Knews’ early reputation as one of Christchurch’s finest indie rock acts should really come as no surprise. The project is the brainchild of Cullen Kiesanowski who, to his 23-year-old name, already has a gold-selling single, countless tours around the globe and an Aotearoa Music Award nomination as a writer and performer in ‘nomad’. While following a similar trajectory and featuring the same level of anthemic sing-along-ability, The Knews is a stylistic departure from Kiesanowski’s previous project. Grungey and guitar driven, the influence of acts including Beabadoobee, Car Seat Headrest, Current Joys and Beach Fossils can be heard. The Knews released their debut single ‘I Don’t Like You’ in July, which was a hit with listeners and critics alike - Sniffers noting the song’s “immense anthem potential”, while Spotify picked it up for their ‘Indie Arrivals’ and ‘Fuzzy’ playlists.
