Line #10 Trivia/KnifeParty


1	* ColbertBump:
2	** They weren't exactly unpopular to begin with, but views for their song "Bonfire" appear to have gone up thanks to its being featured in an episode of ''Series/BreakingBad''. Many commentators on Website/YouTube thank the show for introducing them to it.
3	** "Battle Sirens", their collaboration with [[Music/RageAgainstTheMachine Tom]] [[Music/{{Audioslave}} Morello]] received a significant boost in views after being featured in ''Videogame/MortalKombat11: Aftermath'''s trailer.
4	* CreatorBacklash: Rob seems to really hate "LRAD" now, likely because of the many, many, ''many'' [[FollowTheLeader imitators]] of that style, to the point of basically ''[[http://systemsready.tumblr.com/post/54643164558/wait-whut restarting Pendulum]]'' because he's so angry at the current state of electro house.
5	* DevelopmentHell:
6	** Due to their perfectionist tendencies, their [=EP=]s have a history of never coming out on time. Case in point: their third [=EP=] was originally supposed to come out around Valentine's Day.
7	** ''Abandon Ship'' was originally slated for August 2014, being moved to the end of October at the last minute instead. And then it got shoved back to early November, [[OverlyLongGag right before being pushed back one more week to mid November.]]
8	*** And then this got [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] for ''Abandon Ship'', when the finished album accidentally went up for sale on iTunes on November 7th, which was actually earlier than the two pushed-back dates.
9	* FollowTheLeader: Ever since their rise to popularity, ''many'' producers have attempted to emulate their SensoryAbuse style of electro house, with varied results.
10	** Although they were far from the first producers to invent the "banger house" variant, the popularity of "LRAD" (their entry into this style) led to [[https://soundcloud.com/daleri/epic-mashleg a flood of producers creating similar sounding songs]], with just a kick drum and a offbeat pluck. Due to this, Rob Swire has come to regret LRAD.
11	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Several unreleased songs, including "Baghdad" (which was pulled from the ''Haunted House'' EP at the last minute) and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IxrRRGQlDE "Piledriver"]] (their collaboration with Steve Aoki). Rob has publicly said that "Piledriver" isn't coming out because he thinks [[https://twitter.com/gazofnaz/status/352573961885847553 "its a piece of shit"]].
12	* MoneyDearBoy: Part of the reason Rob Swire shifted gears from Pendulum to Knife Party is because it was significantly less expensive and difficult to tour as a dubstep duo than it was as a drum-and-bass band.
13	* NoExportForYou: Their remix of Labrinth's "Last Time" can only be legitimately bought on the UK iTunes store (through no fault of Knife Party themselves - "We don't control what happens to remixes"). Thankfully, they avert DigitalPiracyIsEvil.
14	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
15	** There are many, many unreleased demos of collaborations with other artists, including "Zoology" with Music/{{Skrillex}} and the aforementioned "Piledriver" with Steve Aoki. Baghdad was handed off to {{Music/Hardwell}} for him to finish, but never materialized, and with Rob explicitly stating that ''Abandon Ship'' will have no collaborations, it appears none of these songs ever will.
16	** One [[https://dancingastronaut.com/2018/07/10-things-learned-rob-swires-reddit-ama/ AMA on Reddit]] had Rob give an update status on several unreleased [=IDs=]. While some projects he expressed interest in releasing (with one of them eventually becoming a Pendulum song called Nothing For Free), several other tracks, most notably a collaboration with Oliver Heldens, were scrapped due to both parties hating the final product.
