Kissing Kaos backstory
Risen from the ashes of Asphalt Valentine, punk-fuelled melodic rockers Kissing Kaos are the bold new vehicle for talented frontman Joe Flynt.
The band’s genesis goes back to 2022 and Flynt’s determination to put together a powerful, post-pandemic crew.
Asphalt Valentine drummer Brian Jung jumped on board before producer Andy Reilly recommended multi-talented axe slinger Jon Lansburg.
Bassist Chris Taylor (Kickin Valentina) completed the Kissin’ Kaos line-up and the band set about wrapping up hotly tipped debut To Your Limit.
Reilly (UFO, Bruce Dickinson, Cradle of Filth) produced the record at Muse Productions in Atlanta.
In the band’s own words
“Hey Sugar dives headfirst into a story of reckless desire and the chaotic passion that follows in its wake.
“It’s about a wild ride where temptation, adrenaline and danger collide.
“The song’s equal parts seductive and explosive and the track perfectly sets the tone for our debut album To Your Limit.
“We like to think both album and single blend hard-hitting rock power with irresistibly catchy melodies!”
The verdict on Hey Sugar
The old school 80s-styled cool of Hey Sugar smacks of a band that’s laser focused on bringing back kick-ass, chorus-driven rock.
This isn’t Joe Flynt’s first rodeo… and it shows.
You see Kissing Kaos are a class act and producer Andy Reilly hones a supercharged sound born to ring out across arenas worldwide.
Hey Sugar’s relentless pace complements Flynn’s burning passion but the star of the show?
That’s got to be jewel in the crown Jon Lansburg. The six stringer serves up a solo for the ages as Kissing Kaos ramp up the energy.
Hey Sugar hits the hard rock sweet spot. Flynt’s found his spark.
What’s next for Kissing Kaos
Mighty Music debut To Your Limit drops on May 1.
