Tell your next of kin.

If there’s anything better than pranks, it’s Kins.

For someone who listens to music daily, I’m not into music. I don’t know my favourite genre and my favourite band is shunned by my peers, the music industry and I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say the world.

And Kins is kind of the same. Its genre is a bit blurred, somewhere between indie, alternative and acoustic but kind of youthful and sad too, with elements of old-timey sea sides. If that’s hard to comprehend, which undoubtedly it is, just listen to them.

While I hail from the curb, they hail from Melbourne originally, although now they’re based in Brighton, so I’m surprised they ever manage to find a cab. While I liken them to a slower variety of San Cisco, they are not as well publicized despite my favourite track of theirs, United Fate, being the best morning-walk companion. And further still, it will take a decent Googler to find out that this track even exists.
