about bands:
I had originally heard that The Kiss Offs only wrote songs about kissing, which was enough to get me curious and on the look out. Several years later I found their CD Rock Bottom in the legendary CDBD MAN $1 bin on St. Catherines. I was pretty surprised to find only a few passing references to kissing. By far the main theme of the album was 'being in a not very well known band' or perhaps 'a treatise on our own existence' or 'kiss offs on kiss offs'. In case you don't make it to 3:15: "it takes dedication, to make a dedication when your songs are never played on the radio station, but that won't stop us from sending this number out to: young girls ages 10-21, singing screaming the words to Born To Run."

I caught them in SF a few years ago. They had kind of cheesy/funny homemade pyrotechnics. I haven't heard this record but the first one had a few songs about kissing on it. Haven't listened to it in a long time but it had some pretty good tracks.
the kiss-offs now=black lipstick. i think they are one of the most overlooked bands of anytime ever. for the reals.
aw man! thanks for the tip!!!! i will check them out.
