Sounds Like
"Imagine a more sexual Automatic-period REM melding Beatles ballads with sweet, West Coast pop amid an array of strings, piano winkles and subtly programmed quirks." - Drowned in Sound
"Tonight, I went to Bethnal Green, and caught most of a band called The Kissing Time. They were enjoyable, in a post-C86/Library Records sort of way; they sounded a bit like Tugboat (mostly the vocal harmonies). A few of their songs were a bit bland and AOR-ballady; one of them sounded not unlike 1927. I'm told that this is because one of them is into Coldplay." -- Anatomy of a Distance
Our second single ‘Bill Hicks’ is now available for pre-order.
As you may know we are self-managed, self-published, and self-released on our own record label. Our debut single "Trauma Town" entered at #9 in the Official UK Independent Label charts and we're hoping to make this one go even bigger:
Hola, The Kissing Time ! Just to say that on Sunday, It's a lunchtime gig, so if you get there about 2pm you will be in time to see me. There's The Switch theatre group after that and some other acts too. All at Bethnal Green Workingmen's club, Love Jim'll. xx
Hey guys. Sorry you missed the launch. Cheers for the album shout out. I will get a few copies in the post tomorrow. Its been a crazy week, so sorry for the delay.

WHAT'S HAPPENING PEOPLE? JUST PASSING TO SAY HELLO AND THANKS FOR THE REQUEST! SORRY FOR THE DELAY, I'VE BEEN BUSY!
If you're one of my peeps and proud you're gonna have to represent some and have Hackney as a top friend. (If you do then tell me! I'm starting a list of loyal Hackney residents and lovers)
Tell ALL the residents and lovers of Hackney to stand up and be counted by adding me! THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW!
