2. KiSS KiSS, a Japanese girl group formed by WACK, spun-off from GANG PARADE
1. Kiss Kiss was an indie rock band that emerged from Milton's SUNY Purchase. The group was formed by Joshua Benash (guitar, synth, and vocals) and Jared Karns (drums) after the members had participated in various college bands. The name Kiss Kiss is derived from a series of short stories by Roald Dahl. Although their music is primarily rock in style, it also includes an electric violin that adds an orchestral sound to many songs. The contrasts within Kiss Kiss' songwriting and vocals have also been described as extremely frantic at times, yet melodic and soothing at others. This unusual variety of styles has helped the band's music to appeal to a wide audience.
The band's first release was a self-titled EP--initially released independently in 2004, it would be re-released on Eyeball Records with new artwork on October 11th, 2005. Their debut full-length, Reality vs. the Optimist, was released on February 6, 2007, despite leaks of the album appearing the internet sometime in November 2006--a "tour edition" limited to 1,000 copies would be sold at the band's shows during the period between the leak and the official release.
The band's second full-length album, The Meek Shall Inherit What's Left, was released on July 7th, 2009.
2. On March 25, 2023, at the conclusion of WACK Audition Camp 2023 the formation of Kiss Kiss was announced. The group consists of six members of Gang Parade. Their first digital single, "Kisses", was released on April 17. On June 21, they released their debut album, First Album.

Kiss Kiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you walked through that door
I won't call you tomorrow
And in your escape
Forgot in your hate
Your pills for tomorrow
And you need to take
Otherwise the virus will surely gain
Travel through your veins
To your heart
To your brain
Ending all the life that you seem to know
And Janet you called
You cried on the phone
Said darkness surrounds you
Well death sucks, I know
But it's your time to go
Janet I love you
And you need to take
Three pills each day
Otherwise the virus will surely gain
Travel through your veins
To your heart
To your brain
Ending all the life that you seem to know
It's just, you hurt me so much
As I cried and I begged
For just one more day
And one night
You left me in pain
So stop, the sounds from your heart
As you cry adn you beg
For just one more day
And one night
It is too late
The lyrics to Kiss Kiss's song "Janet" tell the story of a heart-wrenching situation. The singer is talking to Janet, who he swore he wouldn't call if she ever walked through his door again. Janet had left in a fit of anger and had forgotten her pills, which she needs to take three times a day to keep a virus from taking over her body. The singer warns her that the virus will travel through her veins to her heart and brain, ending the life she knows.
Later on, Janet calls the singer, crying and saying that darkness surrounds her. She knows that it's her time to go, but the singer still professes his love for her. He reminds her that she needs to take her pills or else it will be too late. He reflects on how much Janet has hurt him, leaving him in pain when he begged for just one more day and one more night. He tells her to stop the sounds from her heart, as it is now too late.
The song is a powerful commentary on the fragility of life and the importance of taking care of oneself physically and emotionally. It highlights the devastating effects of neglecting one's health and choosing to give up rather than fight.
