THE KENNEDY SOUNDTRACK:

Hailing from the South Wales Valleys, The Kennedy Soundtrack blend a mix of styles to form their own unique sound. Taking influence from hip-hop and alternate rock movements of the 1990’s, they cut their teeth playing the Legendary TJ’s in the city of Newport.

 

Signing to Instant Karma in August 2001 the group went on to play numerous festivals including the prestigious Reading and Leeds festivals and toured with the likes of Pitchshifter, Taproot, Senser, Pink and their fellow Newportonians SkinDred.

 

Releasing their album ‘A Tale of 2 Cities’ in 2002 they were nominated Best Newcomer at the Kerrang Awards and won Best Welsh Newcomers at the Welsh music awards in the same year. The album was recorded between NYC (Hit Factory), North Brookfield MA (Longview Farm Studio), South Wales (Rockfield Studio) and also featured E-Swift and Too Much of American Hip Hop group ‘Tha Alkoholiks’. Steve Thompson produced the majority of tracks on the album stateside with Jakob Nygard producing with the band in South Wales.

 

They have recently released their stomping riff laden track “Trumpets of Jericho”
