We are a 4 piece rock n roll covers/original band from Trimley/Felixstowe, weve been around for 2 years now and its been great. We're a pretty energetic band and we like to give the audience a good show every time, its great fun at our gigs cause everyone has a great time. weve played quite alot of multi-band rock nites and weve had a few of our own too. we should have an ep coming out soon so we'll add some of the songs on here so if you like Life's a bi*** and Going Home then keep an eye out.
Why this name?
randomly out of a arabic dictionary, and it means fate in arabic so it's sorta meaningful you know? we were once noise pollution because we are a pretty loud band and when you cram all that rock in one cul de sac, your bound to be annoying a few neighbours! but we had a call from another band offering to press charges if we did not change it, and after many suggestions, kismet felt better.
Do you play live?
We play live at various places around Felixstowe and Wickham Market we're all really into our gigs and we love every one.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows people to have more access to different genres of music. and also gives people a wider range of fans in different places.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yeah, we're in this to get somewhere
