KNACK - KNACKOLOGY: THE ZEN RECORDINGS

2026 collection from the Power Pop icons. 19 studio, live, and demo tracks from across their storied career. Features the return of their classic cover of Badfinger's "No Matter What," and other hard-to-find performances. The Knack was far from a one-hit wonder. But, sometimes, we need to be reminded of that. Principal songwriter and vocalist Doug Fieger of The Knack created Zen Records as an outlet for new Knack material, as well as early recordings, demos, and more in order to get them into the public ear. Omnivore Recordings has been honored to have a decade-plus relationship with Zen Records. Knackology: The Zen Recordings collects 19 classic Knack performances. From pre-Get The Knack demos ("That's What The Little Girls Do"), to a live "Let Me Out," Knackology shows the band's genesis. Follow that with more across the globe performances of hits including "Good Girls Don't," "Baby Talks Dirty," "One Day At A Time," and-naturally-"My Sharona," and feel the live power that caused a bidding war for their debut, and how it never relented onstage throughout their tenure. Also included are studio tracks from their releases Zoom (which Fieger called their best album) and Normal As The Next Guy, showcasing that they were never truly that "one hit wonder" label they had been slapped with. Add in rarities like their cover of Badfinger's "No Matter What" (originally released on a Badfinger tribute) and you have a total Knack education and experience. This collection is mastered by multiple Grammy-winning engineer Michael Graves, and features liner notes from Grammy-winner Lee Lodyga (who has helmed Knack reissues for Capitol Records, Virgin Records, and Omnivore Recordings.) Knackology: The Zen Recordings is more than just a compilation. It is both an introduction and refresher course to one of the world's most important, impressive, and irreplaceable bands.
