Bluebottle Kiss, sometimes seen as BBK, are an Australian indie rock band formed in 1993 by mainstay member Jamie Hutchings on guitar and vocals.

The band issued six studio albums, Higher Up the Firetrails (1995), Fear of Girls (1996), Patient (1999), Revenge Is Slow (2002), Come Across (2003) and Doubt Seeds (2006).

AllMusic's James Christopher Monger described their sound, as "atmospheric power pop in the vein of Nick Cave, Coldplay, and Brendan Benson.

[5] Although dropped from Murmur after the release of their five-track EP, Somnambulist Homesick Blues in 1997, Bluebottle Kiss continued to make records on their own with various indie imprints.

[13] Jasper Lee of Oz Music Project observed, "[it] features songs of a much more stripped back tone, gaining mostly support and praise from it's loyal fanbase.

"[5] In May 1999 their next studio album, Patient was released via Citadel Records,[1] whose roster includes New Christs, Died Pretty, the Stems and Knievel.

[5] Greg Lawrence of WHAMMO declared, "[it] hones the band's emotion and angst and draws wonderful attention to the songwriting cleverness of [Hutchings].

[19] Charles Spano of AllMusic rated it at four stars and explained, "[it] may not be an entirely consistent album, but when at its best, Bluebottle Kiss is unstoppable, layering noise, feedback, and jangles over a core of power pop.

Their hybrid of strong dynamics, subtle experimentation and an ever-present classic sense of melody has seen [them] gain a highly loyal following in Australia.

"[16] In November of that year, Triple J's Richard Kingsmill presented a music special, "Bluebottle Kiss", for their J Files series to showcase the band's output.

"[23] AllMusic's Hal Horowitz rated it at four stars, with its "challenging, rugged, dramatic rock with folk tendencies woven intricately into its coarse fabric.

[28] On the tour Bluebottle Kiss promoted the re-release of Fear of Girls (July 2024) on vinyl via Perth's Love as Fiction Records.
