KILL KENADA - From Maggots to Flies

Formed out of classroom friends, the original line-up of Stoo Fairhurst (drums) Dan Williams (gtrs) and Tim Smithen (bass & vocals) first came in to prominence as Kill Kenada in 2004, when they recorded a series of studio 7"s with Gordon Raphael (Strokes, Regina Spektor, to name a few). In addition to their extensive touring, the band built a healthy buzz courtesy of accolades from such renowned publications as Rock Sound, Nme & Kerrang! magazine.

Their first three commercial releases on tiny London-based independent label, SUBverse Records, achieved early success at radio.

Their sound, much lauded by rock's media press, was compared to that of the band's musical heroes: Pixies and Sonic Youth.
