The Music
Kiss the Girl's new rock album, "Touch," is a celebration of feeling and being alive, with songs conveying both power and vulnerability: "my friends are nowhere/it may not be fair/but you can only suck it up and live it…I, I, I feel so alive!" (Alive)

" Unabashedly sexy…fresh and irresistible" (SF Weekly), Kiss the Girl's music will move you. You'll experience rock with a touch of old R&B/soul and electronica: Passionate Rock meets the Urban Underground. Emotionally raw and sexy, and intellectually stimulating, it's the thinking person's sexy rock music.

Songwriter Szeles (saylesh) writes about love and loss sincerely, as someone who's still willing to keep an open heart and experience it again rather than hide in cynical cool. Remaining genuinely romantic, the songs offer no easy answers, but instead find meaning in mystery and a lust for life. "Let me take you for a spin/maybe we will sink or sin." (Ride)

Longing often builds to feverish crescendos: "Ah, don't set me free/I won't let it be/I would walk through hell or fire or fear to turn you on." (To Turn You On) But in the midst of the drama, you'll find unexpected and subtle irony and humor: "You sigh and say you're too drunk to care/give me three bad days and I'll meet you there." (You're My Child)

Kiss the Girl honestly explores the feelings and motivations that make us human.

" Kiss the Girl isn't just another (pop) resurrection; they're a new fresh thing." (Performer Magazine)

The Men
Kiss the Girl is comprised of two California artists - Robert Szeles (pronounced saylesh) and
Jaimeson Durr. As a team, Szeles & Durr wear complementary hats - Szeles is the singer/songwriter/guitarist while Durr is the engineering wizard behind the tracks, as well as an accomplished lead guitarist. Together they produce a unique sound that blends rock and electronica with a driving sensual beat.

Kiss the Girl’s first EP, "Say Goodbye to the 20th Century" was released in 2000 and received radio play in 18 states and six European countries. The self-titled follow-up album, released in 2002, flirted with a more organic, full band sound. Now the duo finds they are back again to their real love of blending rock instrumentation with heavy beats and samples in an atmosphere that is lyrically provocative and musically seductive.
