The Hiss is a 5-piece band from Atlanta, Georgia. They started off as Adrian and Todd set their sights on Georgia after a failed musical career in Florida. They soon met up with Ian, Milton and Johnny and formed the Hiss. Since then their self produced single "Triumph" entered the UK top 20 and have toured the US and Europe with the likes of Jet, Oasis and The White Stripes. Their sound is compared to The Stooges, The Velvet Underground and the Rolling Stones. They have released 1 full-length studio album as well as having one of their songs featured in Tony Hawk's Underground 2. Some enhanced copies of the Album have 2 music videos on them. They could be considered Art Rock because their main influence is Surrealism and not music.
