KISS KISS - MACHINES


ARTIST / BAND: KISS KISS
SONG (MP3): MACHINES
ALBUM: Reality Vs. The Optimist
FILE UNDER: Indie / Experimental / Progressive
LABEL: http://eyeballrecords.com

INFO: What distinguishes Kiss Kiss, a 5-piece orchestral rock ensemble, from its contemporaries is a unique synthesis of influences, resulting in moody music that hangs and dissolves on shrewd, artful songwriting. Blending analog synths, violin, distorted guitar and ambient sounds with tight arrangements and male/female vocals, it’s as though Kiss Kiss channeled the fragments of its musical predecessors, and reassembled them. Known for its unpredictable, high-energy live performances, Kiss Kiss routinely leads audiences into manic, affected states of high emotion. Coupled with a relentless tour schedule, the band has, in just three years, amassed a fiercely devoted, nationwide fanbase. Kiss Kiss is a rock-pop outfit, which turns that genre gracefully, but without compromise, on its head. Its aspiration? To breathe a new word into the lexicon of rock.
