The best kept secret in music

Press


"Buffalo Bar,London KKKKK Besrker noise rock explosions from youthful and savage newcomers."

THE REFERENCE points scattered before us here by lean and wittily-vicious sussex three piece Kill kenada are, for the most part,glaringly enough to trace a spastic trail of influence leading from The Blood Brothers (their pouting anti-glam allure,the jackhammer furies that ignite every song), to Brainiac (the shrieking and shock-headed punk-funk lying at their hearts,singer Tims wily and wicked vocals), to Fugazi (the tricksy time-changes and a sense of sonics that sprawls beyond whats typically defined as 'punk rock')
Fine influences indeed. Mix em up with a blitzkrieg attack that suggests not a drop of preciousness of precociousness,to this manic melee and you have the most searingly exciting UK hardcore act of the moment, a young band who can take on board the rampant creativity that makes the US scene so alluring right now. KKKKK - Kerrang Magazine


"London Barfly (Live Review)"

Precarious, like a drunk man standing on one leg, the three-piece lurch wildly, seemingly possesed by some unatural force. Without bridges they leap from one place to another,somehow avoiding disaster, and an unholy sound quality that threatens to batter you senseless with a treble knob turned to 12. It sounds like chaos, but the magical truth is that this is no way out of control. And although it's so rare to find musicians who can excersise control over such wild instincts without losing any heart, Kill Kenada prove that bands who know how still exist. Individulay, they're enigmatic, charasmatic heroes. Together they're a force to be reckoned with-a band who grew up on Pavement and Mozart and actually learnt how to play their instruments properly. - The Fly Magazine


"'Best Of The Rest'"

When they're not coming up with tongue twisters for song titles, Kill Kenada are making music that's sharp enough to sever an artery with. Violent. But delectibly so, this is art rock mentalism in its finest form. - Rock Sound
