Cardboard Cutouts by 3 Kisses from Wasilla, Alaska

WOODLAND CA (IFS) -- This writer has not heard a guitar performance at any medium in "forever." Very strong and a blend of performing showmanship and great technique. 3 Kisses follows Green Day and any others, but leads the pack with this Single. - K. Smith, @KDTNRadioOne


Amping it up with their latest release, 3 Kisses brings you “Cardboard Cutouts” – an edgier, more intense installment of their signature American Party Punk.  Tish raises the bar with this batch of compelling lyrics and captivating melodies backed by the rock-solid performance of Ian Gallagher and Carly Serencha on bass and Chris and Paul Newlin on guitar and drums.  Long-time friend and producer, Eric LaBrosse throws in his magic to bring this polished group of tunes to larger-than-life status.
Co-written with LaBrosse, “Aim High” is a rockin’ anthem of positivity geared for achieving success.  “Love is a Grave,” which will be the first video release from the album, harnesses a bit of the modern hard rock sound, while retaining trademark 3 Kisses undertones.  “Master of No One” is the master of the melodic hooks 3 Kisses is known for and “March” is a lyrically clever in-your-face punk classic.  This album showcases a distinct evolution of the band with 12 solid tunes with independent strength and flair.
3 Kisses has enjoyed much success with their previous release “All or Nothing Hero” licensing songs to Lifetime, Mattel, Nickelodeon, HGTV, the Food Network, and video games such as Sonic Boom and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.  “Lethal Love Addiction” was also featured in the independent film, “Crazy Bitches.”
The thematic variation of the collection of songs on “Cardboard Cutouts” is guaranteed to keep your ear tuned in from start to finish.

3 KISSES, hailing from Wasilla, Alaska, has been described as “a big metal pot of punk rock stew.”  With over a thousand live performances for crowds of up to 35,000, front woman Tish Meeks and her band, 3 KISSES, deliver a straight shot of their “American Party Punk” brand of thought provoking, well-written, emotionally charged pop-punk/hard rock music. 3 KISSES jumps from one high energy style to another with traces of a vast array of female-fronted influences weaving their way into the music. The band has been compared to Green Day, Joan Jett, the Buzzcocks, Flyleaf, Halestorm, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne and “Pat Benatar meets Axl Rose.” 3 KISSES’ live performance has been called ‘freakin’ explosive’ and lead singer/guitarist Tish Meeks has been referred to as ‘a ball of fire on stage.’ Jeff Castelaz of Dangerbird Records says,“Tish is a great performer! The band laid it down and the crowd loved it – fun, nasty and driving! Tish has it down – and the crowd response proves it…only band to get the crowd moshing!”

Tish launched 3 KISSES in Austin, TX, in January 2004, has recorded 9 studio albums and toured nationally. Notable performances include showcases during SXSW, Millennium Music Conference, Independent Music Conference, Dewey Beach Music Conference, and  Austin’s Heart of Texas Rockfest.
