The Kenzos


Get Lost Records

Kenzos is a local term for denizens from the fine Philly hood of Kensington. Guitar player/singer Joey James was high school pals with bassist Keith Graber. They went their separate ways after that and after doing some world travelling to different corners of the globe, both ended up in L.A.. Neither of them were aware that the other was there and only 20 mins. apart. After discovering this via family they got in touch and started up their band the Kenzos with drummer Mark Savage. They list among their influences STP, Sabbath, Nirvana, Radiohead, NIN, Beck and a wide array of other Rock & Alternative artists. It is this mix of influences that gives these guys a nice grunge/rock sound with prog & blues influences. Joey's vocals are reminiscent of Jeff Martin from the Tea Party & their overall sound is similar to the Tea Party. I particularly enjoyed the track 'Carstruck' and enjoyed their tracks overall. Their debut self titled CD is available through all the usual online places. Check it out at  http://www.thekenzos.com/
