The Knack - Knackology: The Zen Recordings (2026)

Nineteen studio, live, and demo tracks from across The Knack’s storied career 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.
