Welcome to the KENT BAND ARCHIVE. This site is dedicated to Kent's diverse musical history, detailing some of the bands (Alternative, Metal, Punk, Indie, Prog, Psych, Folk) that made life interesting, up until the turn of the Millennium. Most bands after this time have some sort of website of their own. It is NOT a list of current or active bands, nor is it a list of every band that ever existed!
