Kisschasy Gear Up For New Album Release With “Better”

Kisschasy are continuing to turn back the clock with their latest single “Better.” The track’s a powerful reminder that this Naarm/Melbourne quartet are more than just a nostalgia band. They might just be making the best music of their career right now.

“’Better’ is the last song on [new album] The Terrors Of Comfort and for good reason; it offers a glimpse of hope after taking the listener through the unsettling world of vice and distraction,” explained Kisschasy frontman Darren Cordeux. “It’s a kind of an inverted love song – a song about saying goodbye to something or someone in order to better love oneself. Many times, when writing a song, the music and melody can inform the lyrics, or at least the theme. This song had an optimistic, expansive sound so I thought the concept could be about liberating oneself from that negative force mentioned in previous singles ‘Parasite’ and ‘Lie To Me’.”

Kisschasy’s brand new album The Terrors of Comfort will be released on February 13. Just a few days later they’ll load up the van and hit the road with Good Charlotte and Yellowcard. You have no idea how much I’m regretting missing these shows due to an overseas holiday! First-world problems and all, but please buy tickets so you can tell me all about it!

Free Kisschasy Track, Album and Tour on the Way

Kisschasy have matured like a fine wine with the release of their third album, Seizures. The disc saw the Western Australian outfit jet to Los Angeles to work with legendary producer Rob Schnaf (Elliott Smith, Beck, Powderfinger, The Vines). The result has been touted the band’s best recording to date.

Frontman Darren Cordeux wrote the title track as a letter to a friend he says was “not living life to the fullest because they were too afraid of the consequences.” You can download the song online for free by clicking here.

If you like what you hear, make sure you check out the album when it drops on August 21 and see Kisschasy when they make their way around the country in September. They’ll be joined by Regular John for all but the first three shows.

Be in Kisschasy’s New Video!

You’ll have to put your skates on for this one kids, but if you’re a Kisschasy fan living in Melbourne you could appear in their next music video. The shoot is taking place tomorrow, that’s Thursday January 10, at Fairfield Park.

The sessions take place at 3 pm until 8 pm, and 8 pm until 11 pm. You’ll need to see Killian at the kiosk when you get there. You should wear something appropriate for a folk festival, and sunscreen and a hat because it’s going to be a scorcher. You should also bring a blanket to sit on, and plenty of water to drink.

Have fun!
