Press

“HBO's True Blood has a reputation for killer song choices in every episode. In True Blood episode 4.02, 'You Smell Like Dinner', singer/songwriter Chris 'Kanude' Knudson joins the likes of Bob Dylan, Shelby Lynne, Billie Holiday and Massive Attack on the eclectic True Blood soundtrack with his song 'Wheels'."”

— Mel, True-Blood.net

“Kanude’s vocals are an unbelievably fluctuating blend of Roy Orbison and Glenn Danzig, providing listeners with that old-school sound mixed in a blender with a little rockabilly and a good amount of attitude.”

— Travis Sabaitis, Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion

"If this a debut then l can't wait for the follow up. Another rock inspired alt-country hoe-down would be just the thing to rouse this worn out soul so used to hearing uninspired tired repetitive rock served up by the majors. Great songs, great CD."

— Peter Merrett, PBS 106.7FM, Melbourne Australia

“One of the best indie recordings to hit the market for 2008… a roadhouse riot with loud, pumping guitars and thunder drums churning up a frothy soundscape. The vocal stylings pay homage to great rockers of the 1950's. Imagine a pissed off Roy Orbison wailing away after a peyote binge.”

— David H. Ruisard, Amazon.com

"Loved your album. Great Music and artwork. Waiting to hear more of you."

— Paul van Kuik, Radio 0162 Dongen, The Netherlands

"Heartfelt songs, terrific singing, well-composed and arranged music, and right in the ball park for radio play."

— Lee Underwood, Tim Buckley guitarist

"Cool. Listening now. Sounds good!"

— Derek Sivers, founder, CD Baby

"Your presentation of music, inside the style and personality reflected in the tracks is very refreshing."

— Graham J Barclay, Soundwave FM, New Zealand

“This is indeed a fine record, full of varying moods and textures, while keeping a firm hand on its Rock and Roll identity. "Wheels" is a song that could have been written by a young Brian Wilson, if he had only grown up nearer the Pasadena that is in Texas, rather than the one that is in California.”

— Robert A. Sharp, Jr., Amazon.com

"A mix from the music of the 60s, 70s en 80s. Old music in modern ways."

— Jan Nederveen, Radio 794 Veessen, The Netherlands

"'Sweet But Sour' sounds like Bowie and Ian Hunter jamming ‘Synchronicity II’ with Frank Zappa writing the arrangement. That’s my favorite.”

— Dan Workman, Sugar Hill Studios

"High energy beats, raw guitar riffs, driving vocals and cool songs."

— Lorca Simons, Actress

Questions

Ask Kanude anything...

Q: How did you come up with an album of gospel songs?

A: Well, hello anonymous! I've been selecting and leading worship music at a church in downtown Austin for a few years, and I decided to pick some songs that I felt were strong that I could create my own imprint on. I decided to add a few original songs that were composed during that time as well. I hope you are inspired!
