Polaroid Kiss is a collective musical group internationally based in Stockholm, London, Los Angeles & Seattle, officially consisting of founding member Brandun Reed (Record Producer, Songwriter), Steve Hewitt (Placebo / Love Amongst Ruin), Kevin Drake (Thirty Seconds to Mars) & Tom Shear (Assemblage 23).[1]

History

Shortly after relocating to Stockholm, Sweden in 2009, Brandun had renewed artistic inspiration for the sound and ideals of Polaroid Kiss, and swiftly invited former Sneaker Pimps co-lyricist Ian Pickering to assist in lyrical and thematic depth.[2] The duo began composing & demoing a wealth of new material. [2] Among the several guest-artist & collaborators known to have participated in recording sessions have included Perry Bamonte (The Cure), Martin Skold (Kent), Craig Grant (Union of Knives), Steve Kilbey (The Church), Hanin Elias (Atari Teenage Riot).[3][4]
