Most music that is heavily punk influenced can sound very similar. It can be really good but in the end they all have a common sound to them. Electro punk, Post-punk anything punk can get a little boring at times. Yet if there was ever a punk influenced band that could break that stereotype it is defiantly Kiss Kiss.

Kiss Kiss is a New York based progressive post-punk rock explosion. The only true way to describe it is awesome. (I am going to write the remainder of this review as a excited 14 year old kid). They are awesome, in every sense of word. Their latest album The Meek Shall Inherit What is Left is an amazing explosion of sound that is just awe inspiring. There are elements of punk, electronic, prog and all out rock sound to it that makes an incredibly unique sound. It sounds almost like new wave punk James Bond music. I would like to be able to compare it to something but unfortunately I don’t know what I could it just sounds so different.

The album is beautifully constructed with perfect build-ups and drops that make it so that the whole album is an experience. The album has a completely different range with each song having a different feel to them. For example the song “Hate” has a waltzy communist Russia feel to it works out so beautifully, whereas the track “All The Draw” sounds like it could be the soundtrack to a fight scene a cyberpunk movie. Within each track even there is a range of sound to it, the track “Through the Day” starts off as a slowed down simpler song with a nice steady build only to suddenly change into an awesome power rock extravaganza.

Really this is just an awesome album, I cannot emphasize that enough. It is a fun perfectly constructed album that will defiantly surprise you. If you like awesome things or consider yourself awesome then you need to hear this album, or else you just aren’t as awesome as you think you are.
