FM Knives was an American punk rock band based in Sacramento, California, active from 2000 to 2004. Composed of members Jason Patrone, Chris Woodhouse, Zack Olson, and Jake Morris, the band was known for their raw, fast-paced, and minimalist style, reminiscent of early punk bands from the 1970s. Their most notable work, the album "Useless and Modern", gained critical acclaim for its stripped-down sound and post-punk influences. Despite their short existence, FM Knives made a significant impact on the punk scene, particularly in their local community.
