KENEDA : whatever you can say - CD

 

I discovered this band from Orleans (France) on the "Opposite Run" compilation. They played melodic hardcore, perfect for skateboarding. They released a demo "Greenpower" in 1996, which I would like to listen to again. Here it is their first album, released in 1997. Their melodic hardcore is more mature, and ventures towards emo and noisy influences, close to SEVEN HATE sometimes. Another album will follow in 1998
