   About Fishkiss

Fishkiss is a folk rock band from the Toronto area. We began recording a full band demo in 2006, but it was never completed. You can listen to some live recordings here from 2005/2006.

We are currently on hiatus.

Fishkiss.

Everybody, Fishkiss!

Why?

Because the Polar Caps are melting, and soon well all be swimming with the Salmon and the Mackerel. You better learn to Fishkiss!

Our material is not easy to stamp a label on because we’ve pulled in influences from so many different places, spanning genres from classical to fiddle to jazz and spanning artists from bands like Tool to Dispatch to the Barenaked Ladies. We grew up singing, strumming, and drumming, and we want to put what we’ve loved for so long into our own music.

The most dominant characteristics of our sound are our distinctive acoustic riffs, and our unique vocal harmony. We are trying to bring a sense of melody and poetry back into alternative music. This is music that means something to us, and to those closest to us. There is something here for you, too. These are songs for anyone and everyone who loves music.

We’ve been writing and playing together for a few years now, and we’ve been well received by people in all different age groups. Tell your mother and father. Tell your baby brother. Tell your cousins. Tell them to Fishkiss!

That was a great set at The Velvet Underground, an ecclectic mix of world rhythms and stellar guitarwork. Definitely one of the more prolific and passionate bands in the city.

As you may or may not know, I’ve submitted my EPK video to www.upyourmusic.ca for the record deal contest with Universal Music Canada. What you probably don’t know is that I’ve been holding steady on their homepage as one of their favorites. I owe many thanks to all of you who have voted, and would like to kindly ask for your continued support. You can vote more than once if you like, if you haven’t yet, I encourage to do so for at least one artist. A $60,000 record deal can change any indie artist’s life.

That was a stellar set at Clintons. A sound falling in between funky-jams and sonic-folk. I was also impressed with Blaise as a guitarist. He definitely stood-out with some intricate/bluesy stuff. This was the first time I've seen you as a full band, and was entertained. Great job.

Palmer is the man,
he likes chicks from japan.
hes usually gay and sappy,
which makes me quite happy.
sucking his cock was so good,
he gets all the ladies as if i could.
i want to jam with palmer again,
and maybe someday well be top ten.

Nice to see 2 members of Fishkiss at Starbucks yesterday. A duo sometimes has as much passion as an entire band. Great set.
