InfluencesBeen compared to The Kooks, Madness, Vampire Weekend, The Jam, Arctic Monkeys, The Smiths, Born Ruffians, Dexys Midnight Runners
Sounds LikeBrit-pop, laced with a trace of Motown, served with a dash of ska, in a chilled glass of early 80's. Crotchet-pop. Brit-crotch.

"Surprise hit of Leeds 2009. Great chorus-laden pop songs...genuinely commercial and truly enjoyable at the same time."
Vibrations Magazine

"A band of young lads with cheeky grins, decent haircuts and a sack full of really catchy pop songs, performed with confident gusto."
Leeds Music Scene

"Soulful vocals and catchy guitar rhythms. Ones to watch."
Yorkshire Evening Post

“A great band. Really, really talented musicians with a lot of heart and soul. Great for festivals."
Alan Raw, Raw Talent, BBC Radio Humberside

“Their set is littered with addictive pop songs. If you like Vampire Weekend – go check these lads out.“
Music Guru Online

“They look like little boys with oversized instruments but Kinch deliver a massive sound.”
Pick-Up Nottingham

"Refreshingly different. Completely unlike all the other young bands around at the moment."
Yorkshire Music Collective

“Seriously catchy Leeds indie rockers -the new Madness!"
Total Guitar

"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 "
Music Guru Online

"Crap."

Kinch are a young brit-pop band from Leeds, UK. Upbeat and unashamedly pop with hints of Motown, ska and the early 80s, they have been compared to Vampire Weekend, The Jam, The Kooks, The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys and Dexys Midnight Runners.

In the last 12 months, Kinch have supported Florence & The Machine, Alphabeat, Das Pop, Royworld, Little Comets and even The Saturdays.

At the 2009 Leeds and Reading festivals, their catchy tunes and onstage energy attracted the BBC Introducing Stage’s largest crowd of the weekend at both sites.

Playing their first gig as Kinch in 2007, the band were named winners of Leeds Bright Young Things 2008 -previous winners include Corinne Bailey Rae and The Music. Their self-financed debut single, Old Fashioned Love , reached Number 7 on the UK Indie Chart in October 2008. They are currently Leeds Rhinos Official Band for 2009.

Kinch's 4-track Bad Dreams EP will be released in December 2009. A free download is available now from www.kinchmusic.co.uk.

Cheers Rob! I'm glad you like it!
It looks like we might see you at Cuckoo's Fest next year. We're probably be on a different day to you but if it's as good as last time we might come down for the whole thing!
