Know Boundaries is a six-member band based in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Their music merges high-energy performances with expertly crafted hip-hop influenced lyrics, resulting in a style they describe as ULTRA ROCK HIPHOP. While they have a distinct sound, they also resonate with the challenges faced by their audience.

In a world often indifferent to its own injustices and contradictions, Know Boundaries challenges listeners to confront reality. Their unique blend of hip-hop and rock forms an engaging and modern musical experience, drawing from a diverse range of influences.

The band's sound combines elements reminiscent of the “boom-bap” style of The Roots, the experimental nature of The Mars Volta, the vibrant energy of Onyx, the thought-provoking lyrics of Saul Williams, the intensity of Rage Against the Machine, and the imaginative spirit of Jack Kerouac. This fusion results in a sound that is both distinct and accessible, aiming to capture the attention of listeners.

Since their formation a few years ago, Know Boundaries has received an enthusiastic response, accumulating numerous awards and recognitions. They have attracted national label interest, secured corporate sponsorship through Budweiser's “True Music” program, and showcased at various industry conferences. Their accolades include the Madison Area Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Group or Artist in 2004 and the award for Madison’s Best Hip-Hop/Urban Song for "The Slingblade." They have also shared the stage with notable acts such as The Roots, the Black Eyed Peas, Cypress Hill, the Gin Blossoms, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, 3 Days Grace, Caroline Spine, Buckcherry, Fastball, and Something Corporate.

Unlike many groups that blend genres, Know Boundaries garners appreciation from both the hip-hop and rock communities. The six band members are educated and articulate musicians, each contributing their unique influences to create the signature Know Boundaries sound. Their music can be likened to a fusion of Muse and Blackalicious, The Mars Volta and Little Brother, Radiohead and Outkast, or Nine Inch Nails and The Roots.

For those interested in a combination of poetry, politics, and music, Know Boundaries offers a compelling experience.
