Palette Knife
Columbus outfit playing twinkly, wordy Midwest emo at pop-punk speed — tapped guitar figures and self-deprecating jokes in equal measure.
Palette Knife formed in Columbus, Ohio, part of a Midwestern scene where emo, indie rock and pop-punk overlap freely. The band's songs pair intricate, high-register guitar interplay with fast tempos and conversational lyrics, often turning anxiety and everyday embarrassment into hooks. Their recordings have circulated through the independent emo label circuit, and they have kept a steady presence in the Ohio DIY community that produced them.
