Kensington is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Razorlight, My Chemical Romance, The Wombats, U2 and Editors.

They run in the same orbit as Di-rect, Racoon, Krezip, Guus Meeuwis and Ilse DeLange, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Di-rect, BLØF and Kane, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
