Kiss Bang, the upstart duo of lead singer Kaya Stewart and guitarist/producer Max Mercier, is the latest addition to the growing SPIN Records roster. Equally influenced by rock and pop, Kiss Bang explodes with youthful energy, while channelling the nuances of rock’s rich heritage.

Kiss Bang’s latest single, “Drag”, is a solid dose of alt pop angst, with Stewart’s urgent, wide-ranging vocals joining Mercier’s furiously sophisticated wall of guitars. The video for the track is a DIY masterclass, capturing the inherent push and pull of falling in love. See below for the world premiere – and don’t miss Kiss Bang as they play at the Official NFL Tailgate (Dolphins @ Rams) on November 11th.

 “This video was made with a borrowed camera, an old projector, and a flashlight from an earthquake kit. We leaned into the DIY spirit, made everything up as we went, and died of laughter the whole time. Together we created something that captures the camp, yet authentic aspect of Drag, and Kiss Bang as a whole.”
