Warming up the day is an engaging rock driven sound that charges out of the speakers like a bull on speed, as raucous energy hurls the listener from their slumber. A reference to alternative new wave from yesteryear is wrapped in to a current consciousness.
The material is powerfully delivered, but it doesn’t hurtle in to that space of power-rock as the sympathetic vocals add a soft focus lens to the sound which gives an intriguing space in which the band operates. Firmly rooted in indie rock, Kissimme is also able to deliver a slide towards a more considered emotional context, due in full to the range of vocal expressions on hand. I personally particular enjoy the retro new-wave with which the band plays on occasion.
Having just released a new single This City with an LP which has just finished the recording stage set for release later this year. Kissimme can now be found in the UK playing on a regular basis and worth taking a trip out to see.
This City is available on
