KENISIA formed in late 1996 by ex-members of Narcolepsy and Joshi, and went through various line up changes until the current line up came together in 2003. After starting out as an alternative/reggae kind of band KENISIA spent their first 2 years gigging around the Bristol/Bath area. Over this time the band developed and refined their style with a ska, punk and reggae influence with bits of metal put in for good measure! In Summer 1998 KENISIA recorded a 12 track demo at the White House near Bristol
