Kiss Disease - self titled EP

Oh man! Today we've got ourselves some killer punk rock and roll out of Finland! Kiss Disease hails from Helsinki and sounds like it was raised on a steady diet of The Stooges, MC5, and the New York Dolls. Can't go wrong there, eh? The band has released a four-song EP that just might set the world on fire..literally. I just love how trashy, blown-out, and flat-out ferocious these four cuts are. Singer Ella Laine tears into every note with force, attitude, and a badassery that just can't be denied. And those guitars are absolutely scorching! You might be thinking "Scandinavian band + Detroit influence = action rock", and I do hear a little of that on "Cripple the Bastard" (which you can surely surmise is not a ballad). But this band has got plenty of roll to go with the rock, and overall this is just great high energy punk music that ought to be played obnoxiously loud while you jump around and go crazy. It's always great to hear a record that makes 90% of the punk rock and roll bands out there sound lifeless and tame! 7-inch out now on Lempi & Sylvi Discs!
