The Kinetiks

Surely one of the most promising young bands in Dublin at the moment, fresh-faced four piece The Kinetiks bring a heady amalgam of barbed indiepop and new wave that evokes echoes of The Strokes and The Beatles at their most frayed. Combining well-paced melodies with surf-rock and viscerally burnished riffs, the quartet’s live reputation for enthusing even the most comatose of crowds has seen them booked by promoters all over the city, including eminent support slots with the likes of the UK’s Young Knives and Black Wire. Charismatic frontman Gaz Harding’s insolent vocals tread recklessly over beefy putdown ‘A Smile’d Crack Your Face’ and sigh wistfully over bass-centric pop ditty ‘The Bop Bop Song’; while the skewed Vines-lite zig-zag of ‘Nightstrollin’’ provides an edgier inclination to their canon. If nothing else, this boy is destined for stardom; he’ll have a fair run at it with The Kinetiks. - Lauren Murphy, entertainment.ie

-"Poster Children for the welcomed buzz that Garageland brings to an act The Kinetiks headline the Village on Friday.

-"Already forming a tight following as a direct result of their stellar performances (that includes more than their mums and girlfriends), it's hard to believe that The Kinetiks Garageland debut was little more than a month ago."

"I honestly was not prepared for such a performance. As soon as Jemson Green left the stage, Eamon Dorans became reminiscent of The Beatles at Shea stadium. Screaming girls, as well as the odd guy, filled the front of the stage to welcome on one of Ireland's hottest new talents. These guys have it all. Rocking tunes, with punching vocal lines and tons of hooks to catch the already biting audience. I just hope these guys get to go the whole way. Check out their song 'A Smile'd Crack Your Face '. " - Glenn Mahony

The Kinetiks are aptly named; the tracks on their new EP are a bundle of raw energy. The EP's first track, A Smile'd Crack Your Face, sets a rapid pace but the band are able to maintain it until the end. The Dublin band cultivate a sound reminiscent of The Strokes circa Is This It?. If their live shows are anything like their recorded tracks, audiences will not be disappointed. - Hot Press Magazine

Charming guitar pop reigns on this debut EP from a Dublin four-piece who have built up a solid live reputation in the last year. This four-tracker revolves around blistering Strokes-esque riffs and catchy vocals and hooks. The standout cuts are Run Run Run and A Smile'd Crack Your Face. You'd be well advised to check them out on their upcoming tour. - The Star

"Self-described as "simple, catchy and charming naivety", The Kinetiks are a Dublin 4-piece full of spark and energy, dabbling in reflective indie pop. Along with the above proclamation, there is also a welcome sincerity to the track, the singer giving his all through an impressive vocal range, and aching whoas and aaahs."

"Shuffle Your Feet, the debut single from the city's new rock product The Kinetiks,
is a work of effortless professional charm and streetwise pep the likes of which we haven't heard in some time.
If you can judge a band on the strength of one track, it's easy to declare The Kinetiks a knock-out act;
a poppy indie barnstormer, it explodes with nifty riffs that remind of The Undertones as much as they do The Strokes,
and is sure to win over every exhausted music hack ans scenester in our fair city.
It's a real play-on-repeat charmer that goes hand-in-hand with the North Dublin foursome's rep as a giddy,
energetic live band that makes us feel young and trendy enough to bop along with every bar sans irony.
They paid their mandatory dues on the smaller festivals of the summer,
turning out frown-inverting sets at Cois Fharraige and castlepalooza before retiring to Grouse Lodge
to turn out this little gem. We don't predict a riot, but more of a slow-burning feeding frenzy surrounding
The Kinetiks as they strut into 2008, and we'd like to boast that we were there first. Complete slags, aren't we?" - InDublin Magazine, Philip Byrne
