The musical journey of Christopher Adkins and Adam Staley began in Hillsborough, NC in elementary school. The two started their first band in the fifth grade and have been close friends ever since. After years of living in different states, they reunited in North Carolina in 2015 and Kinsley was formed shortly after. Kinsley encapsulates the sound of their collective musical influences. From Christopher, the knowledge of the classical guitar (receiving his Doctorate of the Musical Arts from Florida State University) combined with the love of all types of heavy music. From Adam, experienced drumming in the North Carolina music scene (drumming in bands such as Idea of Beauty, Sinister Archetype, Eno Mountain Boys, and City of Medicine). In 2016, Kinsley recorded their debut album entitled "I" with Al Jacob at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, NC. Jamie King from the Basement Recording Studio in Winston-Salem, NC later mastered the record. "I" was independently released on September 22nd, 2016. Kinsley went back into the studio with Al again to record "II." Jamie King once again handled the mastering. "II" was officially released on December 1st, 2017. Shortly after it’s release good friend Andy Pienta helped the duo release a space-related video for the track “Jesu.” Kinsley returned to the studio in July of 2018 with Al to record “III.” The album was mastered by Matt Tuttle at IAS Studios in Winston-Salem, NC and released on December 21st, 2018. Kinsley released their fourth recording by themselves for the first time in “IV”- available online as of August 30th, 2019. On April 20th, 2020 Kinsley released a doom/stoner metal track called “Hindu Kush.” As of May 12th, 2021 Kinsley gained a new member in Christopher Jones. Chris is another Hillsborough native who has been involved in the local music scene for years and is a huge addition for the band! Kinsley released a 5-song EP in “V” on September 17th, 2021. It includes some of the fastest and more catchy tracks as a band up to that point. The band released their most adventurous album to date in “VI” on December 12th, 2023. Having Chris Jones as apart of the writing and recording process has made this the strongest material to date. This is also the first time that the vocals are handled by Staley and Jones on a Kinsley recording. After finishing the record the band shot another video with good friend, Andy Pienta. This time for the track “Alone” from their latest release. It was officially released on December 25th, 2023.
