MUSICIAN & ZINE ARTIST
DR. KNOW
Virtuoso Hardcore & Reggae Lead Guitarist • Washington, D.C. • Since 1977
Revered as one of the fastest and most technically dazzling guitarists in rock history. Seamlessly transitioned between 240 BPM precision thrash riffing, shimmering dub reggae skanks, and soaring Hendrixian solos.
“Speed without precision is just static. We brought jazz fusion discipline into the raw fury of punk.”
