White Knight

White Knight began in 2010 when three friends decided to take casual jamming and add structure and substance to create original songs. After playing a few local shows, the band decided that feedback was positive enough to warrant the recording of a demo. The April 2010 demo was comprised of three tracks, all of which were later re-recorded and released on the full-length debut Astronomica. Not long after, a lucky meeting with a local cellist precipitated the formation of a quartet lineup, with Joshua Orion Johnson/Arnold on bass and keyboards, Lucas Raff on cello and bass, Cade Howard on guitar, and Zaq Williamson on drums. Every member began to share vocal duties, and over the next year the White Knight sound was perfected.
In early 2011, the band decided to record a proper album at a local studio. After months of painstaking engineering under the creative direction of the members, White Knight's full-length debut Astronomica was released on March 17, 2012. Featuring seven interconnected songs, the album is a unified statement of the band's unpredictability, ranging from beatles-esque pop sensibilities to heavy rock riffs and avant-garde psychedelic jams.
