Kinesis - '... And They Obey' (Independiente)
4/5

Third time lucky, huh..?
When rockfeedback first chanced upon Kinesis back in the summer of 2001, they were unsigned, didn't have management, yet possessed the most enticing dream to succeed in an industry too commonly dominated by elder heads and smaller minds. Such was their confident vision, they'd released their own mini-LP on their own label - the 8-track, now-untraceable 'Worship Yourself' - and on it at the start, was a raging, statement-of-intent grueller - this track.
A song then released for a second time in a booming 2002, it's apt that, as the band's profile and campaign for youthful, idealistic reign ever-heightens, it's granted a final re-release; this rendition, the 'definitive version', produced by Manics impresario Dave Eringa, is harder-hitting than a brick to the forehead - crashing, crushing riffs, Michael Bromley's almost haunting insistence that 'NAFTA ain't all liberty...' and the sort of iron-rigid self-belief that has made some of the Bolton foursome's recent live-shows akin to a religious rock-experience.
Submit yourself now, or prepare to be overthrown.
