Editor's note

Kensington, the Utrecht rock band that stuck together.

A Dutch rock group that built a steady following with melodic songs like 'Youth' and weathered a plagiarism storm.

If you want to hear their early sound, 'Youth' from 'Borders' is the one. For something later, try 'Home Again'.

They've been a reliable presence in Dutch rock since their 2010 debut 'Borders', which had the single 'Youth'. Their 2014 album 'Rivals' got them noticed outside the Netherlands, and they kept going even after the 2016 plagiarism accusations about 'Streets'. Songs like 'Home Again' show their straightforward melodic style.

They formed in Utrecht in 2005 with the same lineup that's still there today. After 'Borders' in 2010, they put out 'Rivals' in 2014 and later faced the 'Streets' controversy. They came back from a break with 'Time' in 2018 and 'Violetta' in 2020.

Archive material and source history

Kensington formed in Utrecht in 2005 with Eloi Youssef on vocals and guitar, Casper Starreveld on guitar, Jan Haker on bass, and Niles Vandenberg on drums. They released their debut album 'Borders' in 2010, which included the single 'Youth' and helped build their audience in the Netherlands.

Their 2014 album 'Rivals' received critical attention as they began playing shows outside the Netherlands. Songs like 'Don't Look Back' and 'Home Again' from later records show the band's melodic rock style. In 2016, they faced plagiarism accusations regarding their song 'Streets' and its similarity to a Coldplay track, though they continued releasing music.

After a break, Kensington returned with the 2018 album 'Time', which did well on Dutch charts. They followed with 'Violetta' in 2020. The lineup has remained the same since their start.
