Kiss Kiss is a band that emerged from New York state college and was formed by Joshua Benash(Guitar, Synth, and vocals) and Jared Karns.(drums) The name Kiss Kiss is taken from series of short stories by Roald Dahl. Their music features an electric violin that adds a classical-pop-rock vibe, that comes out in a realistic and eerie way. The vocals range and add to the thrill and deepness of the band's perspective and outlook on the music itself. The music consists of many ranges as well. A very special turn of vocals and guitar blend gives this band a unique touch on their music. As vast as their influences, their music is appealing to a wide audience. Since Kiss Kiss' formation, they have produced a Self-titled EP that consists of five songs. It was released on October 11th of 2005. A new album is expected February of 2007 under the New Jersey based Eyeball Records. Reality VS. The Optimist, Kiss Kiss' first full length album has been leaked onto the internet as of November 2006.
