Mel Sanson is back!

Alt Sounds Magazine - The Lowdown - Mel Sanson of Kenelis

The last decent female fronted pure rock and roll, alternative band that had substance to them were The Pretty Reckless. Ever since my sk8r days back when I was a wee teenager, where my daily uniform was some form of baggy hoody, jeans and some Vans, I had a collection of female fronted guitar rockers pumping in through my headphones, from The Donnas to Hole, with a bit of Tuuli too for good measure. I've not come across anyone for a long while who could contend with such raw passion, dripping with guitar riffs and an infectious personality to complete the package. Until now.

Let me introduce you to Mel Sanson of Kenelis.

I had the privilidge to chat with Mel about kids, music, love, passion, girlfriends, family history, the future, fans, Twitter and a bunch more stuff us girls spill the beans on. This is probably Mel's most indepth of interviews where she reveals hereself in a way that you've never seen before!
