Kindred

There are at least 3 bands: 1)Kindred - Representing Limburg Area Hardcore, Kindred was one of the first bands ever released on Goodlife that was not from the 'H8000 crew'. After Kindred called it quits, some members of the band went on to form 'Enemy of the Sun' but after a while they split up for good. Shortly after that Eric & Walter started a new band called Troublelovesus, but that's also history. Maarten played some time in Ampslamper but they are dead, just like the other bands.
