Kissa is a band that combines the glittery spectacle of 1970s glam, decadent rebellion, and passionate love. Their music draws from the carefree origins of rock ’n’ roll, delicate and bubbly pop aesthetics, as well as powerful pop-rock with grand harmonic guitars and melodic hooks. Live, Kissa offers an exuberant pop-rock dream, with wide-legged stances and mercilessly squealing guitars. The energy is high and sweaty, and the electrifying atmosphere keeps the audience captivated from start to finish. Emerging from a blaze of colorful lights and pink haze, the band presents a vibrant and unconventional sextet that is impossible to look away from. The mood is tantalizingly unpredictable, racing close to the edge, even if it means veering off course.
Kissa entices the audience into a fiery and sweaty rhythm. With a heart made of napalm, this band is unstoppable. Their debut album, Vaarallinen bändi, was released on June 4, 2021, through Svart Records. This cohesive and powerful album features carefully crafted hooks, fresh and intense riffs, massive synth layers, and cheekily written stories. Beneath its bubbly exterior, there is still a tender and gentle lover. The album’s first pressing sold out quickly, and a third pressing is now in circulation. In May 2023, the band released their second album, Apinalinna, which is more refined, sophisticated, and ambitious. It features greater depth, with hard rock, catchy pop sensibilities, big arrangements, and large emotions meticulously woven together.
