White Knuckle Trip has built a considerable fan base in several cities including: Milwaukee, Madison, South Bend, Peoria, Chicago, Detroit, and many other midwestern cities.

They have frequented large venues such as The Metro in Chicago, and have made a home out of probably the largest venue in Wisconsin, The Rave in Milwaukee. White Knuckle Trip have played with such national acts as: (hed)p.e., Sevendust, Coal Chamber, Machine Head, Earth Crisis, Nothingface, Downset, Factory 81, Relative Ash, Full Devil Jacket, Amen, Corrosion of Conformity, Godsmack, From Zero, Adema and many more. They have played the annual and internationally renowned Milwaukee Metalfest and its equally important spin-off in Camden, New Jersey.

White Knuckle Trip have won a series of awards including: best heavy metal act, best male vocalist, and were runner-up for best recording for their self-titled cd in the best of 2000 issue of the popular Milwaukee entertainment newspaper, The Shepherd Express. White Knuckle Trip have been nominated for best metal act in the 2001 W.A.M.I. (Wisconsin Area Music Industry) awards in 2001 and 2002.

Being a part of milwaukee's elite performers, White Knuckle Trip have given back to the community by playing free shows to support a breast cancer benefit as well as Racine's annual food for thought benefit in March 2002.

They have performed for large crowds of dedicated followers as well as new faces on the summerfest lazer 103 rock stage.

White Knuckle Trip's positive attitude and spirituality bring a powerful blend of heavy alternative and metal together to create a unique sound that spawns emotion and angst within a sometimes dry genre. Their music is a creative escape from the heavy-metal cliches so prevalent today, but is still well grounded in what makes the new wave of heavy bands so popular in modern rock music.

White Knuckle Trip's fan base ranges from young to old and their live shows provide unmatched intensity and heart through true belief in their music. White Knuckle Trip carry the staying power and intelligence of an educated group of dedicated musicians.

although it lacks the pounding double bass i've been used to listening to white knuckle trip, the vocals are still the same-very powerful. and the music with the samples keeps you listening. I like it.

If metal were a drug...

...WKT would sell it by the pound! The slower overall pace of the songs is a refreshing change of pace from the overdone, redundently aggresive, carbon copied sound favored by many of todays underground acts. From the opening riff, Refusing Places Seen is a melodic sub sonic experiance that will satisfy your yearning for heavy riffs, though it is quite obvious the focus is on... Good song writing! Imagine that! From the melody of Tools used for digging to the passionate vocals that introduce still life. This is clearly a band that is not ashamed to let the listener know the story behind all the screaming. Finally the money shot of the disk, Rev. Semanon an angst filled anthem with riffs that would have parted the red sea had not, Noah and his arc gotten there first. Overall this CD is tastefull gem that is a direct reflection of the hard working, creative minds, that brought it to life, and succeeds at expanding the horizons of your everyday music listener, as well as giving metal fans a glimpse of the not too far off future, a benchmark ALL bands should strive for.They must be rocket scientists or something.

Older is sometimes better than the new
author: Dustin Drankiewicz
                            
Refuses places seen definetly took a step back from their old rap metal sound. Its more winey and doesn't have its own sound, I do enjoy the new ep but liked the older stuff better. I enjoyed the older stuff and thought it was not only creative but it fit WKT better. But still a great effort.
