Between the powerhouse, soul-drenched vocals of Kaya Stewart and the aggressive yet ethereal guitar work and production of Max Mercier, Kiss Bang slices jagged edges through the polished surface of modern pop. California-raised—between Los Angeles and San Francisco—the duo have been performing since age nine, building toward a chemistry that now detonates on impact.
Live, they’re pure voltage: commanding, cathartic, playful and theatrical—impossible to look away from.
After igniting SXSW with their debut EP Horrors of Your Hometown and unleashing the sharp-tongued singles “Drag” and “Boy Humor,” they stepped deeper into their own technicolor universe, constructing a surreal, playful wonderland where sound and vision collide in full theatrical force.
That momentum has continued to build. Kiss Bang recently inked a deal with BMG, marking a major new chapter for the duo as they expand their world and reach a wider audience. In summer 2026, they released their debut album, Toys—a full-length introduction to their wildly cinematic universe. This summer, they’ll also hit the road with Catie Turner, bringing their explosive live show to stages across the country.
The world keeps expanding. Kiss Bang are just getting bigger, louder, and more fearless—ready to leave a mark.
