you remind me of home

Probably my favourite indie band, Kiss Kiss, released their first album last week - Reality vs. The Optimist - and guys... Oh, guys. It's fucking brilliant. Inventive, unique, lively - everything I could have asked for. I've been waiting months for this and it's lived up to each and every single expectation (and then some)! 

Kiss Kiss is a small band on Eyeball Records in New Jersey - MCR's and Thursday's old label. They're a five-piece who apparently put on one helluva live show (I wouldn't know. I'm not from Jersey), and have a unique sound that can only be described as Queen meets The Dresden Dolls meets I don't even know what, but something with a fucking ELECTRIC VIOLIN!

I just can't sing their praises enough. Please do yourself a favour and check them out. Oh, and subscribe to their MySpace blogs; Josh (lead singer) updates regularly and has a pretty fucking rad sense of humour.


OH, BABY, GIVE ME A KISS KISS
