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:
“Not only do our wives need support, but our children need our deep involvement in their lives. If this period [the early years] of primitive needs and primitive caretaking passes without us, it is lost forever. We can be involved in other ways, but never again on this profoundly intimate level.”
—Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)
“It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among those who support equality, men’s involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also important to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved towards a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema.”
—Katherine Gerson (20th century)
“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)
“When we were at school we were taught to sing the songs of the Europeans. How many of us were taught the songs of the Wanyamwezi or of the Wahehe? Many of us have learnt to dance the rumba, or the cha cha, to rock and roll and to twist and even to dance the waltz and foxtrot. But how many of us can dance, or have even heard of the gombe sugu, the mangala, nyang’umumi, kiduo, or lele mama?”
—Julius K. Nyerere (b. 1922)
