The sound of Kenelis is a combination of Grunge, Punk and Anthemic Shoegaze all fused together in a big pot of Rock! Comparisons have included the raw angst of Hole, vulnerability of Placebo and diversity of Radiohead. Kenelis have shared the stage with the likes of Reuben, Hundred Reasons, Your Codename is: Milo, Fightstar, Ghost of a Thousand and The Levellers (Mark Chadwick). To promote FREE single Sick from their second soon to be released album, Kenelis have an 11 date UK tour this Summer, with Farnborough Fake Festival being the home coming for the Farnborough based band. Not to be missed! One of the UK's next generation Stadium Rockers... Loud Horizon Magazine 'Keep a close eye on this lot'... Rocksound Magazine

The Fins captured the bleak essence of British alt rock, whilst also cultivating a strikingly unique and refreshing sound. This distinctive style may be a direct result of including an acoustic/electric guitar in what is essentially a heavy rock outfit, giving the band a softer, more pensive edge. It may also be attributed to the relatable lyricism within the set, which effectively left every member of the audience nodding their heads in appreciation, and thinking Been there, done that, got the booze-soaked t-shirt. Perhaps the bands uniqueness may also lie with the versatility of front man Ryans voice, as he is able to jolt from melodic to guttural with the same speed and ease as the bands relentless backdrop of drum rolls. This vocal agility is by no means an easy accomplishment, as all too often potentially brilliant lyrics are lost in translation when left in the hands of a typically alternative front man. Not so with The Fins, as every immaculately ironic line of displeasure was delivered with a sense of melodic clarity and poise (albeit, drenched in post-teenage angst). Review by Sinead Murphy following a gig at The Palace, Aldershot.

A top notch covers band with a broad portfolio of songs to draw from which guarantees there is a little something for everyone. Consistent high energy perfomances coupled with a well deserved sense of self belief have led to a great reputation locally and an extremely busy diary. History suggests that you will be singing along...
