Know The Score

Know the Score is a Florida hardcore band that emerged in the early 2000s as a side project featuring members from Protagonis and On Our Own. Their sound blends traditional hardcore influences—from Cleveland’s raw energy to Floorpunch’s intensity—with fast, abrasive tracks and hard-hitting dance parts, offering a contrast to Florida’s then-dominant metalcore scene. After a 14-year hiatus, they returned in 2020 with their *Delay of Game* EP, delivering no-nonsense hardcore that prioritizes urgency over frills. Recent releases like *Play for Blood* and *All Guts, Still No Glory* continue their commitment to unrelenting, groove-driven aggression.
