Involvement in Punk Rock
In his youth, Kinsella was the bassist of the Canadian punk band, "The Hot Nasties". In 2005, Kinsella wrote Fury's Hour: A (sort-of) Punk-Rock Manifesto (Random House, 2005), a history of the early days of punk.
In 2005, Kinsella founded a punk rock band named "Shit From Hell", which released a self-titled album later that year on Kicking Ass Records. The band consists of Kinsella (Bass, Vocals), Derek Raymaker (Guitar, Backing Vocals), Rolf Dinsdale (Guitar, Backing Vocals) and David Shiller (Drums). The band performed at Hamilton's Festival of Friends in August 2008 with Frankie Venom, the lead singer of legendary Canadian punk band Teenage Head. It was to be Venom's last public performance, as he died six weeks later, of cancer.
Kinsella wrote the song, Barney Rubble is My Double, featured on the Hot Nasties long play cassette tape and the Shit From Hell CD. It was also covered by The Evaporator's on their Ripple Rock album.

Famous quotes containing the words involvement in, involvement, punk and/or rock:
“The glorious dream of full father involvement in infant care will not become a widespread reality overnight. But it can happen, and it eventually will happen,... A lot of progress may take place in a short period of time if we just lighten up, step back, and give the guys a decent chance.”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
“I recommend limiting one’s involvement in other people’s lives to a pleasantly scant minimum. This may seem too stoical a position in these madly passionate times, but madly passionate people rarely make good on their madly passionate promises.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“When there’s no future
How can there be sin
We’re the flowers in the dustbin
We’re the poison in your human machine
We’re the future
Your future
God Save the Queen”
—The Sex Pistols, British punk band (1976-1979)
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
