Hot on the heels of their debut "Trebuchet" EP, the Kissing Tigers return with their stylistic full-length "Pleasure of Resistance." True to the bands manic live show of heavy percussion, pounding keyboards and bratty vocals, "Pleasure of Resistance" is a mature musical leap from this young Southern California band.
Recorded by Dave Newton (Mighty Lemon Drops, Aberdeen) in Los Angeles, the band was able to spend an ample amount of time on the recording process, yet still maintain the urgency of their previous recording and crazed live show.
While often compared to early New Order or The Faint, Kissing Tigers still maintain their punk tempo while adding elements of dynamic electro-pop and an endless array of mammoth keyboard hooks.
Mark our words, "Pleasure of Resistance" is the darkly-themed dance-punk record that will signal the death of the unmoving cross-armed hipster.
