"some music was meant to stay underground..."

Kissin' Dynamite

Formed: 2002
From: Reutlingen, Germany
Last Known Status: Active

Background

Exciting, dangerous and explosive - that's Kissin' Dynamite. The swabian sleaze mezal commando lives up to it's name, 'cause Kissin' Dynamite is more than just a band, it's an attitue to life. And this feeling is, what those 5 rockstars impart with every second they stand on stage.

What the fans love about this group, that was born in 2006, is entertainment on the highest stage. Due to cool 80ies look, biggest playing passion, accuratest tightness and electrifying stageacting, you get an stimulus overkill, visually as well as acoustically.

Lead singer Hannes, the two guitarists Ande and Jim, bassist Steffen and drummer Andi are tight-knit with their audience like barely no other band can do and manage like that to let every gig be an adventure for the fans.

Meanwhile, the band has got a list of several achievements.

By now, they played over 600 live-concerts in whole Europe and also big international festivals. Even the most popular TV channels in Germany book them for shows on television.

After their debut album „Steel Of Swabia“ (2008) and the second record „Addicted To Metal“ (2010) KISSIN´ DYNAMITE has now released their third longplayer „Money, Sex & Power“ internationally with chart success.

The band has also played support shows for the biggest heroes of this scene such as Edguy, Steel Panther, W.A.S.P., Slash and Mötley Crüe convincing the fans but also the bands.

„Wow, those guys were phenomenal!" (Michael Starr – Steel Panther)

„You guys were the best support band that we ever had!" (Satchel – Steel Panther)

„Great job dudes, I really enjoyed your show!" (Tommy Lee – Mötley Crüe)

The latest masterpiece „Money, Sex & Power“ offers everything: Tons of hooklines, banging riffs, virtuoso solos.

On this record, all the baser human instincts are picked out as a central theme. On the one hand, it's meant with a wink, on the other hand it's definitely meant critically of society.

So, if you've been searching for the sense of life, your quest stops right here, in the bottom line of Rock. Money, Sex & Power is the truth. The truth you've been searching for.

Kissin' Dynamite Lands At #2 On German Album Chart

Kissin' Dynamite has entered the official German album charts at #2 with their new album "Not The End Of The Road!" This marks the highest chart entry in the career of the Germans and continues the unique success story they started about 20 years ago as a school band in their hometown.

For some time now, Kissin' Dynamite have fought against childhood cancer through the power of their music. They donated their full income for the song “Good Life” plus the proceeds of the sale of a charity t-shirt to the Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder Tübingen e.V., a charity organization that supports children with cancer in their hometown.

Kissin' Dynamite To Release New Album In January

Founded in 2007, German heavy metal formation Kissin' Dynamite have made more than just a name for themselves in the scene: With six studio albums and various chart entries (#7 on the GER album charts with their full-length Ecstasy in 2018), the band established their trademark style - characterized by modern sound, massive anthems and catchy hooks paired with an 80s stadium rock attitude and eccentric look. Now, the five piece is ready to release their Napalm Records debut, "Not The End Of The Road," on January 21st and usher in heavy metal in 2022!

To shorten the time until the upcoming album, Kissin’ Dynamite have already released a first track and harbinger of the new record, entitled "Not The End Of The Road," along with an official music video. Their guitar driven sound meets crushing, catchy vocals that easily compete with genre greats and already offers a first glimpse of the band's intoxicating character!

The music video for "Not The End Of The Road" was shot on the airfield in Mendig, Germany and hereby sets a sign of hope in relation to the flood catastrophes.

The new studio album was produced, recorded and mixed by vocalist Hannes Braun (Südland Music) himself, who has also worked with bands like Santiano, The Kelly Family and Beyond The Black. Mastering was completed by Grammy Award winning producer Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, known for his work with bands like Volbeat and many more. More...
