After months of recording, mixing and arguing Kensington Arms eventually managed to finish their self-produced debut album 'Geospizinae'. The decision to record everything ourselves has made for a slow but rewarding process and the band is very proud of the outcome.

A little Kensington Arms history:
Kensington Arms is a hardcorepunk band from the north of The Netherlands. Influences vary from newschool hardcore like Refused, Modern Life is War and Snapcase to punkrock from bands like Propagandhi.
The first incarnation of Kensington Arms released a demo-cd in November 2006. By summer 2007 the band had lost half of its band members. This led them to reconsider the amount of manly and moshy breakdown they put in their songs. After a new line-up was formed of (just slightly) less manly and moshy musicians, the band put all it’s effort in writing a bunch of fresh new songs. This resulted in the recording of a brand new, self-recorded, less manly and moshy ep, named ‘Songs of Separation’, in the month of december 2008.
With the release of ‘Songs of Separation’, the band went to perform their songs live in front of Dutch and German audiences from 2009 till mid 2010...
Another (let's hope) final shift in band members took place.
Kensington Arms quickly welcomed a new bassplayer into their warm, not-so muscled arms and the gods saw that it was good.
The band continued on touring through Europe and the UK. After that they finished writing and recording their Magnus Opus: Geospizinae.
