   About The Sorry Kisses

OUR DEBUT ALBUM 'HARD DRIVE' HAS SOLD OUT OF ITS INITIAL RUN! IT WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN SOON. MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW....

..Photobucket


"It's hard to pick highlights on "Hard Drive" mainly because every track is a complete, infectious example of good, edgy song writing. Buy this ? Definitely" Manchester Music Online.


The Sorry Kisses are a rock band formed in 2006 around the core duo of singer-songwriter Hayley Hutchinson and Sam Forrest of Nine Black Alps. The project was started as an outlet for a handful of songs from Hayley that didn't fit the acoustic style she is usually known for.

And so they spent the next year recording on a laptop computer in a variety of locations from their base in a spare bedroom in York, England to a haunted mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a surf shack nestled beneath the Pacific Coast Highway in California.

Whilst recording in America, The Sorry Kisses enlisted the help of a number of guest musicians to flesh out their home-made sound. Micah Calabrese, formerly of Giant Drag, plays drums on three tracks, including 'Think Twice' which also features the noise guitar of David Jones of Nine Black Alps. Other instrumentation on 'Hard Drive' comes in the form of de-tuned banjos, backwards double-tracked vocals, cement mixer guitars, the street sounds of Sunset Boulevard and a shambolic drum machine that forms the backbone of these recordings.

However, the focus of 'Hard Drive' falls on a sound that hints towards the melodic urgency of Teenage Fanclub combined with the vocal expressiveness of the Breeders and the breezy harmonies of The Byrds on tracks such as 'Living A Lie'. Whereas songs like 'In Your Car' and 'Running Out' illustrate a driving power and reckless atmosphere that recalls 'Goo' era Sonic Youth and the desert rock of Queens Of The Stone Age.

Following the completion of their album, The Sorry Kisses have already filmed their werewolf-inspired debut video for 'Running Out' in a moonlit car park and played their first set of live shows at woodland parties and in flooded basements with an ever-changing cast of band-members and malfunctioning drum machines.

Above all, the Sorry Kisses stand for an aesthetic that encapsulates the carefree spirit of Crazy Horse, the bittersweet laid-back attitude of The Velvet Underground and a home-made, DIY approach that sees them releasing their debut album 'Hard Drive' on their own label, Desert Mine Music, named after an abandoned gold mine in the heart of the Mojave Desert.

Hey all,

I listened to the disc for the first time this morning while suffering the journey into work on the dreaded M60. Got to track 2, the sun started the shine & the world seemed a much better place….. until I reached Stockport!

An incredible collection of songs, love them all and can’t wait to see you perform live.
