Getting the lowdown on Kinesis


Story: Jack Foley

KINESIS began 2002 as virtual unknowns. They ended it by signing a long-term deal with Independiente and playing with the Manic Street Preachers.

The four teenagers had always had a clear vision of the importance of their band from their first, self-financed release, the now sold out mini LP, Worship Yourself, in 2001.

The combination of overt political commitment and a desire to make a beautiful noise had already drawn in a small but committed fanbase in their native North West.

With two limited release singles for the nascent independent label, Crystal Songs, in the first six months of 2002, this fanbase began to grow nationally, while Manchester shows were now guaranteed sell-outs with the first 10 rows even singing along to unrecorded, unreleased songs.

Coupled to this Kinesis, made good their intent to communicate directly with their audience as often as possible, touring throughout the year as headliners and as support to Hundred Reasons, Hell is for Heroes, In Me, The Beatings and the aforementioned Manics.

In 2003, Kinesis have already released live favourite, And They Obey… - a three and half minute burst of intent, recorded with Dave Eringa in October 2002.

And on June 16, they will release Forever Reeling, with two new and previously unheard B-sides.

In addition, Kinesis have been putting the finishing touches to their debut LP since the release of And They Obey and the sold out tour that accompanied it.
