History

Early work

Forming in 2002, Trial Kennedy's first release was an independent extended play (EP), Present for a Day, in 2004. However, it was not until 2006's Picture Frame EP that the band began amounting some form of recognition. A chance inclusion of the band's song "Damage on Parade" on a sampler for Blunt Magazine roused industry attention. Shortly afterwards, the band found themselves with both a manager and a national booking agent.

Touring

The band has toured with popular international bands such as Fall Out Boy and Yellowcard. They played legs on the 2007 and 2008 Soundwave festivals, as well as the 2008 Come Together Music Festival. The band supported Birds of Tokyo in the Wild Eyed Boy tour in March 2009.

In March 2009, while on the Birds of Tokyo tour vocalist Tim Morrison had an altercation with a Kangaroo while waiting to use an ATM in Berry, NSW.

New Manic Art

Trial Kennedy released their debut studio album, New Manic Art, on 31 May 2008. The album was produced by Nick DiDia, who has worked with Powderfinger, the Stone Temple Pilots, Incubus and Audioslave.

The album had a strong critical reaction. Kathy McCabe noted that the band "demonstrated the kind of chops that could take them around the world. Seriously, they're that good." Elsewhere, Nick Snelling of BEAT Magazine claimed that New Manic Art was "an album of the year contender;" an idea shared by Matthew Cheetham of Sydney street press Drum Media. Positive reviews also came from the Daily Telegraph, the Herald Sun, triple j Magazine, Time Out Magazine, Zoo Magazine, Perth's XPRESS Magazine, BLUNT Magazine and Sputnikmusic.

Living Undesigned

In September 2010 the band began work on recording their second album at Sing Sing Recording Studios in Melbourne with renowned producer Eric J.

The first song from the second album, titled "Strange Behaviour" was released on 10 November 2010. Australian youth radio station Triple J played this song on high rotation over the summer of 2010/2011 and was available as a free download for a short period of time from the Triple J website.

The first official single from the second album, titled "Best of Tomorrow" was released on 4 March 2011 with an Australian wide tour of the same name planned for March 2011.

On 10 April 2011, Trial Kennedy announced the title of their forthcoming album, Living Undesigned, it is to be released on 13 May 2011.

As of the 8th of May 2011, four more songs from the forthcoming album, titled "Sally", "Exology", "Living Undesigned" and "Breath a Dime" have previewed on their Facebook page.

Ignite Tour

In November 2010 Trial Kennedy will embark on an East Coast tour of Australia with Shihad. Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Melbourne and Adelaide are the cities the band will tour.

Best of Tomorrow Tour – Part 1

In March 2011 Trial Kennedy will embark on an East Coast tour of Australia with various supporting bands for each city including Numbers Radio, The Bloodpoets and The Ivys. The tour will visit Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney and promote the release of the new single by the same name.
