The Belgian KINDRED was around for a pretty short time span, during the mid-nineties. This short period of time was still long enough to make a mark. Along with Congress, LIAR, Sektor, facedown, ... KINDRED was a part of the bigger Belgian hardcore bands. During the mid nineties, H8000 hardcore was flourishing and the metallic style of hardcore was extremely popular. Some local youngsters in Riemst started tuning their guitars and set up their drums and formed KINDRED. KINDRED sounds like an edgier version of UNBROKEN and has some really SLAYER'esque riffs from time to time. A lot of people seem to agree that KINDRED was becoming a great band and so did GOOD LIFE RECORDS. GOOD LIFE RECORDS released KINDRED's FILE 01 in 1996 and it was an important release for the Limburg area. KINDRED was doing really well. Read more on Last.fm.

There are at least 4 bands:
1)Kindred - Representing Limburg Area Hardcore, Kindred was one of the first bands ever released on Goodlife that was not from the 'H8000 crew'. After Kindred called it quits, some members of the band went on to form 'Enemy of the Sun' but after a while they split up for good. Shortly after that Eric & Walter started a new band called Troublelovesus, but that's also history. Maarten played some time in Ampslamper but they are dead, just like the other bands.

And about five other bands, some current, some defunct, that because the were Christian, World, Celtic, etc., used that as a differentiator and appropriated the name Kindred, with such innovative and distinctive derivatives as The Kindred, or Kindred Sound, or Kindred Beat, or Kindred Tune, none of which are actually innovative or distinctive.
