The Sorry Kisses are a rock band formed in 2006 around the core duo of singer-songwriter Hayley Hutchinson and Sam Forrest of Nine Black Alps. The project was started as an outlet for a handful of songs from Hayley that didn't fit the acoustic style she is usually known for.

And so they spent the next year recording on a laptop computer in a variety of locations from their base in a spare bedroom in York, England to a haunted mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a surf shack nestled beneath the Pacific Coast Highway in California.

Whilst recording in America, The Sorry Kisses enlisted the help of a number of guest musicians to flesh out their home-made sound. Micah Calabrese, formerly of Giant Drag, plays drums on three tracks, including 'Think Twice' which also features the noise guitar of David Jones of Nine Black Alps.

The band were scheduled to play their first gig as a full band on December 13th at City Screen Basement Bar in York, England, but plans were scrapped due to the lack of an available drummer, with Calabrese not able to appear.[1]

Following the completion of their album, The Sorry Kisses have already filmed their werewolf-inspired debut video for 'Running Out' in a moonlit car park[2] and played their first set of live shows at woodland parties and in flooded basements with an ever-changing cast of band-members and malfunctioning drum machines.

On 28 April 2008, the band's debut album, Hard Drive, was released through their own Desert Mine Music label on a limited run of 100 copies, hand made by Sam and Hayley themselves.[3] The band plan to release it digitally sometime in the near future.

On 8 May 2008, the band will make their first radio appearance, playing on BBC Radio York's More Raw Introducing show. [4]
