Indie-pop, laced with a trace of Motown, served with a dash of ska, in a chilled glass of early 80's.

"Tight as a gnat’s behind and more talented than a juggling otter."
Sandman Magazine
"Confident, accomplished and totally likeable in a geeky, I-wanna-get-them-drunk-and-watch-them-puke sort of way "

"Listening to Kinch is like going out and getting pissed, pulling the girl of your dreams, going back to your place, shagging her, falling asleep, waking up, opening the curtains to find that someone has built the Taj Mahal in your back garden and filled it up with chocolate sauce - it doesn't get much better than that really, does it?"
