The Knack

Knack was an American rock band formed in 1978, known for blending new wave sensibilities with power pop and classic rock elements. Operating primarily during the late 1970s and 1980s, the group became part of the broader American rock landscape that defined the era. Their sound incorporated pop rock influences while maintaining the energy characteristic of new wave music. The band remained active until February 2010, when they disbanded after more than three decades together. Knack's musical approach exemplified the accessible yet energetic style that resonated with audiences seeking guitar-driven rock with melodic hooks.
