Musicology

Kinesis are a rock band from Bolton, England. The group formed in September 2000. Their first recording was the five track, self-released EP "The Flowers Are Dead", which was followed up by a mini-album entitled "Worship Yourself". This mini-album was released on the band's own 'White Noise Recordings' record label. At this time, the ages of the band ranged from from 16 to 18. Rave reviews of "Worship Yourself" in publications such as Kerrang! helped the band build up a dedicated, if small, fanbase in Britain, fuelling record company interest. The band signed a record deal with Independiente Records in 2002.

Kinesis are often compared to the Manic Street Preachers, because of their politically minded lyrics.

  • Tom Marshall (Bass guitar, Vocals)
  • Neil Chow (Drums)

The band parted with their record label, Independiente, in mid-2004. Their second album "You Are Being Lied To" was released in June 2005 on the indie label, 'Captains Of Industry'. The album was recorded and produced by the band themselves on an extremely small budget. In many ways, it represents a return to the D.I.Y. method demonstrated in the release of "Worship Yourself". In a unique move, the band decided to announce that they were splitting up on the day that the album was released. Thus, many of the songs from this album were never performed live.


Following the split, three of the members returned to education. Tom Marshall is studying International Relations at Toronto University, Canada. Neil Chow is studying Graphic Design at Exeter University and Conor McGloin begins a degree in PPE at Oxford University in 2006. Michael Bromley is currently working as a website designer and is a member of the Church of Scientology. None of the members have indicated any plans to return to the music industry.
