Knox Hits a New High with “After The After Party”

The wait is finally over. Nashville-based alt-pop favorite Knox is back, and he’s clearly not slowing down. His latest single, “After The After Party” dropped this week, and it’s exactly the kind of infectious, relatable songwriting that has turned him into one of the most exciting artists to watch this year.

If you caught his debut LP, Going, Going, Gone, you already know that Knox has a knack for turning everyday emotions into massive earworms. With this new track, he’s doubling down on that talent, proving once again that he knows how to balance raw, honest storytelling with production that’s ready for the radio.

The Next Chapter: My Midwest Best

The good news doesn’t end with a single. Alongside the release of “After The After Party,” Knox dropped the details on his sophomore album, My Midwest Best, which is slated to arrive on October 2, 2026.

Following up on the momentum of his previous singles, “Go For Broke” and “Long Story Short,” this new project feels like a massive step forward. Working with producers Henrik and Frank Paris, Knox has managed to keep that intimate, “bedroom-pop” charm while giving the sound a much wider, more cinematic feel. The guitar work on this track, in particular, is a standout—it’s textured, reverb-soaked, and hits just right.

Catch Him on the Road

If you’ve been dying to hear this one live, you’re in luck. Knox is heading out on the road to support Nightly for their “Wear Your Heart Out Tour,” starting October 5 in Austin. If you’ve ever seen him live, you know he brings an incredible energy to the stage that totally changes how you hear the records.
