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 and/or punk:
“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)
“The mother whose self-image is dependent on her children places on those children the responsibility for her own identity, and her involvement in the details of their lives can put great pressure on the children. A child suffers when everything he or she does is extremely important to a parent; this kind of over-involvement can turn even a small problem into a crisis.”
—Grace Baruch (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)
