Michael Knapp has been a singer/guitarist and songwriter in a number of post-punk bands since 1991 including the power trio Dig Miner Dig (FL), the frenetic post-punk quartet Sunday Driver (Pgh), and the NYC power trio Yearbook who recorded their self-titled album with J Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Government Issue). As his family grew and his job designing and art directing feature animated films at Blue Sky Studios required more of his time and creative energy, there was less opportunity to make music. At the end of 2020, COVID-19, "work from home" and a giant corporate mouse changed all of that. Knapp lives in New York City with his wife and daughters where he continues to make art and music.
