31Knots fuses complex rhythms with jagged guitars for mathematical songs that zig-zag through changes and anxious start-stop riffs, calling to mind Sonic Youth, Modest Mouse, the Ex, and even Fugazi's more challenging work. Experimentalists on par with bands like Tortoise, the members of 31Knots stand apart by playing music that is distinctly rock & roll, though not easily classifiable as prog rock or math rock.
Guitarist Joe Haege and bassist Jay Winebrenner have been played under the 31Knots moniker for years, but it was when they added drummer Joe Kelly in autumn of 1998 that the Portland, OR, band fully came together. From that point, 31Knots began to gain momentum in the indie rock scene by playing shows with bands such as Modest Mouse, Califone, and the Owls. The Rehearsal Dinner EP was 31Knots' first record, released by 54O40' or Fight!. The label then put out 31Knots' full-length debut, A Word Is Also a Picture of a Word in April of 2002.
