Kiss Kiss was an American indie rock band formed by Joshua Benash (guitar, synth, vocals) and Jared Karns (drums), with their first album released in February 2007.
However, it had been recorded and prepared for release many months earlier, and several music tracks had leaked onto the Internet by November 2006.
A "tour edition" of the CD, limited to 1,000 copies, was sold at shows between the November leak of the album and the February release date.
The Optimist was planned for late 2008, but information regarding its release has since been removed from the Eyeball Records website.
