Knuckledust are a beatdown hardcore/metalcore band from North London UK. The history of Knuckledust dates back to 1996 when Nic, Ray and Wema contacted Pierre to start a band. At this time London was undergoing a serious lack of support for hardcore and heavy music generally. There was plently of bands playing it but not together so Knuckledust and a few other bands of that era took it upon themselves to put on shows for each other and help a scene that had been forgotten about.
