The Vacant Shapes - Cutting up My Knees [Review] January 03, 2020 by Travis Erwin in Music, Indie Rock Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “The track kicks off with velvety punk style vocals that pull you in and force you to focus on the lyrics. The guitar charged melody adds to the emotion of the words making this a fully immersive track. An anthem for everyone that has also given just a little bit too much of themselves to another. The world will grind you down if you let it, and this single brings those feelings into the light with an emotional rock sound that scrapes away at the exterior layer of our emotions.” — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
