Kensington Arms is a hardcorepunk band from the north of The Netherlands. Its first incarnation released a demo-cd in November 2006 but subsequently proceeded to lose half of its bandmembers, the coming about of which led them to reconsider the amount of manly and moshy breakdown they put in their songs. Once a new solid line-up of (just slighty) less manly and moshy musicians (both bearded and non-bearded) was established, the bands mutual efforts in writing new songs catharticly accumilated in the birth of a brand new, self-recorded, less manly and moshy ep, aptly named 'Songs of Separation', in the month of december 2008. This instant-classic is filled with poorly pulled off (just in order to keep it punk, ofcourse) technical and adequately performed straightforward riffage as well as hippie-like rambles expressing unsparing dissaproval over the destructive ways of our greed ridden society. After the release of their magnum opus, the band went on to perform said songs live, admittedly to mixed response, in front of both dutch and german, bearded and non-bearded, audiences.
Wether you possess a beard or not, should you wish our unholy riffage of doom to wreak sonic havoc in a more comfortable environment than the local youth center (oder Jugendhaus) where sweaty, tattooed (and often bearded) men besiege you in raging fury in the act of engaging in some primal and aggressive dancing style, do not hesitate to order our ep 'Songs of Seperation'...
This for the symbolic, 'less than your dull job's hour wage' amount of 5 euro's (excluding postage), by sending an e-mail with the required information (that is: name and address) to [email protected] . We also have some shirts for sale, unfortunately with our old (nevertheless, more manly and moshy, hence the roaring bearded lions instead of that gay bird) logo, which can be purchased by following excactly the same procedure as the one described above (yet, replace the word 'ep' in your correspondence with the word 'shirt' and be sure to mention the desired size in order for the purchased item to optimally emphasize your masculine curves). The fiscal damage of this would be 7 euro's (yet again, excluding postage).
In case you're still here: if you want us to play a show at your pub, festival, squat, youth center, Jugendhaus (jawohl), living room or whatever other accomodation that is able to occupy five manly and moshy men (some of which bearded) and ideally some audience members as well, we'd be joyful to do so. Whoopie! Once again avoid hesitation in sending us and e-mail to the adress I've mentioned before, and will mention again: [email protected] . Mosh safely and sincere. See you in the pit.
