Hey boys..... Who here wants to fight?
The Enkindels were the poppier, later form of the much-loved hardcore band Enkindel. Some people compared them to Rocket From The Crypt. That really wasn't accurate, however. If you go back and listen the sound of The Enkindels, it follows a natural progression from the later Some Assembly Required era material. These guys were The Hives before The Hives. A bit misunderstood in Louisville. A tongue in cheek Rock-N-Roll attitude that was lost on most local folks.
