Kenai – Hail The Escapist


Another relatively new band out of the UK this month is called Kenai. After two EPs they felt the time was right to go at it with a full-length. It’s called “Hail The Escapist” and on it you’ll find eleven songs.

Even though the band members themselves like to use words such as post and hardcore, I mostly heard emorock and poppunk and a little bit of screamo. Kinda like what Buddy Nielsen and his friends do in Senses Fail. And I’m also hearing some Funeral For A Friend. Nothing to be ashamed of, but not very original either.

The screams sound kinda out of place and they’d be better off without them if you ask me. Of course I don’t really have a say in this but with all those busy guitar riffs and busy synth sounds and busy drum fills, I doubt anyone would really even miss them.
Score: 6 out of 10
