Welcome to the Kent Band Archive |
This site is dedicated to Kent's diverse musical history, detailing some of the bands (alternative, metal, punk, indie, Prog, Psych, Folk) that made life interesting, up until the turn of the Millennium. The main focus of the site is the period 1977-1999 (i.e. the punk era onwards), and primarily bands playing original material rather than cover-bands.
I am still in the process of transferring the info from the old KBA website , it's a slow process... |
